Five West Tennessee ’28 Wide Receivers To Know Before High School

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tennessee is one of the most horizontally linear states in the country, making The Grand Division of Tennessee the easiest way to break the state down into West, Central and East. While West Tennessee may be the smallest of the three sections, that doesn't mean there isn't football talent. With at least one county bordering Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama, West Tennessee is smack in the middle of SEC country. Here's a look at some 2028 Wide Receiver prospects in West Tennessee to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1086455"],"_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":"Lexington Middle School's [player_tooltip player_id='1086455' first='Akeem' last='Cox'] is a dynamic playmaker itching to make his debut under those Friday night lights in the fall. Without question, the name of the game with Cox is quickness and speed. A very agile kid, he's the type of player you do whatever you can to create space for. Whether it be pre-snap motion, running u0022pick playsu0022, crossing routes, rolling the quarterback out, etc.u002du002danything to give Cox just a crease. Before all else, he could make his biggest initial impact in the kick or punt return game.

The Henderson County South student-athlete passes the eye test right away with long limbs, lean muscle and reliable hands. Also a basketball player, there's a lot to like in terms of potential here. He doesn't round off his routes when he gets into breaks, nor does he give away what he's doing pre-snap. Also does a good job catching the ball away from his body, yet is strong enough to reel it in without a defender being able to punch it loose. From the naked eye, it looks like he needs to get faster with straight-line speed, but has a good deal of ability to work with.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1183231"],"_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":"Three Oaks Middle School in Dyer County is home to a talented group of 2028 prospects, headlined by wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1183231' first='Jaiden' last='Sebourn']. Sebourn cleaned up this year in terms of post-season recognition, taking home the Team MVP, Wide Receiver of the Year and WTAC recognition. He's listed anywhere between 6-foot and 6-foot-2, and 145 to 160 pounds, depending on where you look. Having a longer, leaner frame, he can stride out quick screens to the house or can stretch the field vertically. It should also be noted, that with his wingspan and ability to highpoint the ball, Sebourn is also the consummate red zone threat.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1075754"],"_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":"Staying in Dyer County, Northview Middle School's [player_tooltip player_id='1075754' first='Ja'khai' last='Parr'] is also a name that people in West Tennessee should start to get familiar with. At 6-foot and 140 pounds, he's another wide receiver with significant length and ability. Parr is a multi-sport athlete that knows how to use his natural athleticism to get up and get the ball. After finishing third in the high jump at the Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association State Championship Meet last spring as a seventh-grader, he put an exclamation point on his middle school u003cemu003efootballu003c/emu003e career by helping the Choctaws to a West Tennessee Small Conference regular season championship.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1037878"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Shelby County, where Memphis is located, is one of the top counties in the state of Tennessee when it comes to football talent.
