In today’s wide open, pass happy offensive style of football, having a dominate wide receiver or wide receiver core can be the difference in an offense being lethal. Here are several receivers in the Class of 2025 who have that star power.

Daylon has strong, soft hands, he engulfs the football and his superb vision allows him to track the football well. Singleton is a weapon in the return game on special teams, he sees the field well, which enables him to set up his blocks, he has the ability to cut on a dime and get north quickly, which led to multiple returns for six this past season. Daylon was a key contributor in the Desoto Eagles run to a state title in 2022. Singleton’s stock is up on the recruiting trail, with a recent offer from Texas A&M to go along with offers from Texas Tech, SMU, Miami, Utah and Oregon. Look for Singleton to continue to give defenses fits in 2023.

Jalen is shifty with excellent quickness in space, he runs crisp, sharp routes, which enables him to get a clean release off of the line of scrimmage routinely. Cooper is an explosive playmaker, he has the speed to create separation from defenders and Jalen is a threat to score from any distance on the field. Cooper is an explosive leaper, who wins on the contested grab consistently and his ability to track the football in flight enables him to make the difficult catch look easy.

Watson is one of the most explosive athletes in the Class of 2025 and he has the skill set to dominate when he takes the field. Jacorey has a stout, compact build and he has a large catch radius that allows him to engulf the football. Watson is an explosive player in space, he gets from 0-100 quickly and he has the burst to get north in a hurry.

Watson has been tearing up the track for Shadow Creek this spring, showing off his sprinter speed, most recently helping the Sharks get to Regionals. LSU,Texas, TCU and Houston have offered Watson early but you can expect that number to increase to double digits in 2023.
