Continue ReadingThe class of 2025 is about to have its most important season as a whole. Every class’s Junior season seems to be the most critical when it comes to recruitment and overall jump in skill from being an underclassman to an upperclassman. This article will highlight four receivers that have the opportunity to make waves in their pivotal Junior seasons and who’ve all shown flashes as sophomores!
Bryce Edington Bryce Edington 5'10" | 155 lbs | ATH Corunna | 2025 State MI | Corunna | Hudl
I love what Corunna’s been cooking up on the offensive side of the ball, and Edington is one of many weapons looking to improve this coming fall. Last season, Edington played a huge role in the offense as a Slot receiver, both catching passes and getting carries from the backfield. He does a great job at getting yardage after the catch and keeping his feet moving through contact. He has the speed to outrun most front 7 guys, and his lifting numbers pose an optimistic picture for his future. As long as he continues to work through the spring and summer, Edington could reach sky-high success this fall!
Brendan Cargill Brendan Cargill 5'8" | 155 lbs | WR Forest Hills Central | 2025 State MI | Forest Hills Central | Hudl
Last season, Brendan showed a lot of flashes as a deep threat. Off the snap, I love how quickly Brendan gets off the line and how fast he accelerates. He plays Point Guard in the Winter, and the start-stop + acceleration skills translate well to football. Most of his deep balls were pretty open, but he still expresses great focus and good hands when catching the ball. There are a few highlights where he’s in motion or running shorter routes, and I’m very optimistic that he’ll be used in these roles more.
Justin Skyes | Avondale | Hudl
I first heard about Justin as he was an incoming freshman. The Head Coach at the time, Corey Bell, told me to keep an eye on Justin as he has great potential. Since then, I’ve seen Justin a few times, and he’s shown some very impressive flashes. First off, Justin has elite size at 6’2. Secondly, his highlights are some of the best from this whole article and the 2025 Watch List as a whole. He has highlights running most of the route tree with proven RAC ability, good hands, and able to separate. He is coming off a great Basketball season as well. Honestly, I’m more impressed by his film now than I was while watching him a few months ago. HUGE upside with Skyes, and he could be a D2 receiver.
Logan Zahn Logan Zahn 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Swan Valley | 2025 State MI | Swan Valley | Hudl
After watching Logan’s film again, I can confidently say this kid deserves more attention! First things first, I’ll point you to 1:07 in his film below. Logan flashes some great route-running, twitchiness, and focus at 1:07 and many other times throughout his tape. Love the way he runs, and he’s very skilled with the ball in his hands. In addition, he’s much more physical than you would expect. I would like him to get more comfortable and more dominant in the open field. Nevertheless, Logan Zahn Logan Zahn 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Swan Valley | 2025 State MI is a hidden gem!
