<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Currently diving into the class of 2025 for each position group. With the completion of a full film evaluation over their 2023 season, I was truly impressed with their skillset. Here are six wide receiver prospects to watch this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["303140"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6-Foot-1u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e205 Poundsu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eWide Receiveru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eClass of 2025u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernBentonville West's [player_tooltip player_id='303140' first='Harris' last='Vinson'] is a sure handed, jump ball threat at all levels of the field. Showcases great extension with good hand-eye coordination. On top of all that, his ability to catch through contest is very impressive. Vinson had a solid season in 2023 and I'm expecting a huge leap that will be noticed by college recruiters this upcoming season.rnrn'23 Stats: 40 rec - 598 yards (14.95 avg) 7 TDs (7 Games)rnrnNote - 4.1 GPA u0026amp; 4.52 40","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65bfcdce85139"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/HarrisVinson1/status/1733978201448161699","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/HarrisVinson1/status/1733978201448161699 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["847011"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6-Footu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e165 Poundsu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eWide Receiveru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eClass of 2025u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernHot Springs wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='847011' first='TJ' last='Ellis'] is a do it all wide out on offense and special teams. On the offensive side of the ball, Ellis is a solid route runner with great ability to block outside on the screen and running game. Good feel for zone coverage, finding the soft spots to get open. Displays effort all around on special teams, demonstrating sure tackling. Don't be surprised if he's packaged around a lot more for his senior season.rnrnNote - 3.8 GPArnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65bfcdce851cb"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TJEllis_3/status/1732787859705209169","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TJEllis_3/status/1732787859705209169 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["850575"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6-Footu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e160 Poundsu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eWide Receiveru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eClass of 2025u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernShiloh Christian's [player_tooltip player_id='850575' first='Dalton' last='Carnes'] is another sure handed prospect with great body control.
