A Look at Some of New Jersey’s Longest 2028 Wide Receiver’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As football continues to evolve into a strictly pass-first sport, the need for quality quarterback's and wide receiver's is at an all time high. There will always be a place for wide receiver's with length that allow for a quarterback to throw up a prayer, in the hopes they'll be on the receiving end of it. Below are five New Jersey wide receiver's with long builds that can be an option for a quarterback under distress at any time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["972902"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"- Just one of the very dangerous skill position players on a Brick City Lions team that won the AYF National Championship a year agornrn- Has grown considerably since I saw him in December 2022 and is now listed at 5-foot-11 and 155 pounds. Complete with long arms and limbs, which creates a nice window for his quarterback'srnrn- There are a number of ATH's on Brick City that line up at wide receiver (like [player_tooltip player_id='442176' first='Xavier' last='Rodriguez']) that play other positions, but Lopez Jr. jumps out to me as the most natural pass-catcher in the blue, sliver and black","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["852441"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"- Of the five receivers in this write up, Jones is listed as the tallest and longest of the bunch - stretching out to 6-foot-3 and 150 pounds as he's set to start his eighth grade yearrnrn- As you can imagine, the biggest take away from his game is that he's a big time vertical threat down field. Having more than just a handful of inches on the majority of the defensive back's tasked with covering him, all a quarterback has to do is throw it up to himrnrn- While he certainly makes the biggest splash on the offensive side of the ball, he can also play free safety. Doesn't have elite speed at this point, but can cover a lot of ground with just a few strides. How much weight he can add and his level of physicality will go a long way to determining how far he goes","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["972118"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"- Much like [player_tooltip player_id='852441' first='Josiah' last='Jones'] (listed above), Smith is a kid who gets it done on both sides of the ball. While I have him listed as a wide receiver right now, I like what I've seen in pre-season clips of him as a defensive back as wellrnrn- Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing every bit of 150 pounds, Smith will be lining up for Silk City this season, one of the top programs in New Jerseyrnrn- The biggest thing that jumps off the screen at me is how physical he is. Whether it be taking a screen in the slot and breaking tackles as he trecks upfield or hand fighting to get open with the ball in the air, he's a tough dude to engage with on the field","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["971742"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"- Out of the five wide receiver's in this write up, this is the prospect I'm the most excited about and would be my selection for top wide receiver in the state for the class of 2028rnrn- At 6-foot-3 and 175 pounds, he has been able to dunk a basketball for over a year. Big, physical and advanced in nearly every aspect of playing the position, he would start at nearly every high school (including some of the privates) in the state right nowrnrn- As if there weren't enough reasons to like him, there are strong genetics in place here. [player_tooltip player_id='971794' first='David' last='Forster'] also happens to be the younger brother of big-time 2025 recruit, [player_tooltip player_id='761030' first='John' last='Forster'].

He's attended two Prep Redzone Next camps and has come back a better player at each one. The speed and route running has always been there, but now he's adding in some strength and more physicality as well","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ee5161eff0b"} /-->
