<p>Today, we're looking at 4 WRs in the 2026 class who could explode onto the scene this fall. They've all either shown flash as a freshman or are tearing up camps, but all 4 could be a name to remember.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='842399' first='Brody' last='Isza'] - Washington - 6'0" 180lbs</h2>   <p>Isza had an incredibly sound Freshman season and proved to be quite the valuable component of the offense all year long. He's a good athlete and has played in the slot and lined up out wide. In both places, he's had success. He's able to get in and out of cuts decently and has no issue transitioning his weight. I liked that he was able to flip his hips and create separation naturally. With the ball in his hands, he's creative and shifty enough to pick up nice YAC. In his freshman year, he put up 30 receptions and 335 yards. He was the guy helping move the chains and keep the drive alive. He was very smart with his spacing and seems to have a knack for getting open in zone coverage. Isza is a name to watch out for and for good reason. </p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@Brody_Isza</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='847764' first='Avery' last='Perry'] - Northview - 6'0" 165lbs</h2>   <p>Perry is an exciting recruit for multiple reasons. Yesterday alone, we looked at his upcoming QB and ideally those 2 can blossom together. I noticed Perry while checking out Bath's film. I think those 2 together can become an absolute nightmare matchup for defenses. Perry is able to play through contact and still has fantastic ball skills to bring down a ball while being hung onto or interfered with. He's a really good athlete and is off the line in a blur. He's got a decent top-end speed and can catch defenders flat-footed. I feel like he's got another level to his game with the ball in his hands. He's slippery and able to wiggle out of tackles. There were times he knew where to settle down in the zone and while he wasn't a full-time starter, it helped him put up 15 receptions, 232 yards, and 1 TD. This fall, he's slated to have a bigger role and if Perry and Bath go nuclear, don't say you weren't warned.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@Avery84912093</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='825389' first='Sebastian' last='Robertson'] - Floyd Central - 5'11" 175lbs</h2>   <p>Robertson has been a steady performer at multiple camps that I've seen him at and seems to be just hitting his stride. He's got really long strides and runs fluidly. He's able to bend and angle his corners while gaining speed and creating room between him and the defender. He's able to catch balls over the shoulder and not look the wrong way. This past season he played some RB and broke some big plays on JV. He was able to see lanes as they were developing, shoot out the backside, and rip off a big run. He shows those same traits when he catches a ball downfield. I liked him coming out of the backfield running routes when I saw him live back in December. I felt he could be a matchup problem and give his offense an advantage because he's built well enough to play RB. Robertson is going to make an impact for Floyd Central this fall, it just depends on if it's at 1 position or 2.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@S_Robertson2026</strong></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='864924' first='Luke' last='Tackwell'] - Leo - 6'2" 185lbs</h2>   <p>Tackwell is a really good-looking WR who moves as well as you'd hope with a lengthy and thicker frame like he's got. He's got really loose hips and can change direction easily. He's able to cut on a dime and get his head around. His height allows him to go up and be a big target advantage just like you'd want. I can easily see Tackwell developing into a real X WR that helps give the offense some stability. He's too quick off the line for his size not to be downfield stressing out defensive coordinators. I even think for a guy his size, he runs a really clean and nasty whip route. Having his size, but being able to move the way he does is only going to create havoc for defenses. Tackwell's upside might be some of the highest in the class of 2026, and his breakout campaign should start in August.</p>   <p>Twitter: <strong>@LukasTackwell</strong></p>
