Good mover with the ball in his hands, he shows smooth moves with instincts and elusiveness. Katina is amazing at the catch point with a great understanding of how to use his huge frame to box out. Good tracking and he is strong in those contested situations.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["331829"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='331829' first='Will' last='Pressley'] is a smooth moving wide receiver at 6-foot tall, 165 pounds out of Oak Ridge High School.

He is aggressive with his hands off the line and continues to hand fight through the route stem to gain positioning. Pressley displays a good understanding of zone coverage to find soft spots and is a very reliable WR. He makes catches all over the frame with strong hands and solid body control. Overall, he is a solid route runner and makes efficient route breaks.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["851932"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='851932' first='Willie' last='Wilkins'] is a very explosive athlete at 5-foot-10, 165 pounds out of Southwind High School.

The season is approaching rapidly, and I could not be more excited. There will be plenty of prospects from the 2026 class on display for the first time. After watching the film, here are some more WR's worth watching for the upcoming season.
