Who are the top four? Let’s take a look…
Devin Carter Devin Carter 6'0" | 165 lbs | ATH Cedar Grove Saints | 2026 State GA – Cedar Grove
A speedy wide receiver with impressive ball skills and size at 6-foot-0 170-pounds, Carter reminds a lot of folks of Jadon Haselwood in the Cedar Grove community. The big-time freshman is an excellent route-runner already and a threat to stretch the field vertically. He has some length to his frame that allows him to leap into the air and make a tough catch over defenders. He’s quick, agile, and has thee makings of a possible 5-star prospect down the road. The Ellenwood native is ranked as the No. 1 wide receiver in Georgia for the 2026 class and already holds major D1 offers from Georgia, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Florida State, Nebraska, among others. He’s a natural at the receiver position and knows how to create separation on his own. He made a big impact as a freshman and is getting better and better each day. He has an incredibly high ceiling and could be one of the best across the country in his class. He’s also ranked as the No. 5 prospect in Georgia in addition to being the top-ranked receiver.
Peyton Zachary Peyton Zachary 5'8" | 160 lbs | WR Kell | 2026 State GA – Kell
The most productive freshman in the state of Georgia last season, Zachary may be on the smaller side, but make no mistake, but fast, explosive, and one of the best young vertical threats in the state. He has quick feet, can change direction, and has enough breakaway speed to score any time he has the ball in his hands. He made an impact in his very first career high school game and didn’t let up all season long. The Kell Longhorn standout is a big play waiting to happen, and it’s helped him earn major offers from Georgia, UCF, among others. Ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver and the No. 8 overall prospect in the state, Zachary was tough to stop all season long last year, catching 52 passes for 868 yards and six touchdowns.
Aaron Gregory Aaron Gregory 6'2" | 160 lbs | WR Douglas County | 2026 State GA – Augusta Christian Schools
Arguably the best young prospect in Augusta, Gregory is a physically put together receiver for his age at 6-foot-2 170-pounds who already holds offers from Auburn, Arkansas, Kentucky, Boston College, among others. A bigger, longer receiver for his age, Gregory also showed big-play down the field with enough speed to test defenses vertically. An above-average route runner who will only get better, Gregory’s ball skills are phenomenal for someone who just finished his freshman season. He plays the ball well in the air and knows how to catch the ball at it’s highest point. He showed quick feet in and out of his breaks, good burst, and he’s dangerous after the catch. He already looks like a D1 receiver from a size standpoint, and he has the freshman film and overall potential to back up his early offer list. If he continues to develop and work on his craft over the next three years, look for Gregory to be one of the top receivers prospects in the South down the road. He’s now ranked as the No. 3 wide receiver prospect and the No. 11 overall prospect in the state.
Bubba Frazier Bubba Frazier 5'9" | 160 lbs | WR Benedictine Military School | 2026 State GA . – Benedictine
An impressive young receiver out of the powerful Benedictine program in Savannah, Frazier is someone the entire state is going to know about sooner than later. A speedy wideout with track speed, Frazier Jr. is an easy vertical weapon who does a great job of tracking the football and making a secure catch deep down the field. He’s a smooth route-runner who understands the position and works hard to get better each day. He’s a twitchy receiver who can defensive backs off balance and get open on his own. He has easy D1 potential and has a chance to have a real breakout season as a sophomore in 2023. He’s currently ranked as the No. 15 prospect in Georgia and the No. 4 wide receiver in the updated 2026 rankings.
