Pass Catchers Catching My Eye This Offseason

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">If you follow any number of prospects, you'll undoubtedly catch clips of them in their offseason club 7V7 leagues. I've done just that and a few of them have really caught my eye! This time around we'll be taking about the receivers that are starting to climb my boards so far this offseason.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='588086' first='Owen' last='Tietema'], </strong><em>Grand Rapids Catholic Central- </em>Owen is starting to evolve a ton as a receiver and I have enjoyed watching it. The 2026 receiver has a nice 6'2 frame, and shows a nice ability to win the 50/50 balls. He had a few clips that I liked during the regular season, and it appears he has taken the potential and is running with it. He's a good route runner who has sure hands, and an ability to get yards after the catch. He is putting in the work with Legacy right now, and I think this fall he will be reaping the rewards. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Keaton Duda, </strong><em>Utica Eisenhower-</em> Another 2026 receiver I have really started to see circulating is Keaton. He's won a couple offensive MVP's this offseason, and there is no shortage of footage to back it up. He runs nice routes, he finds open areas in coverage and just flat out makes plays. He is a solid 6'2, with almost 200 pounds on him. He looks very natural at the WR position, though he actually is a 2 way athlete right now. Don't be surprised to see some colleges jump at this dude shortly. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Lincoln Kramer, </strong><em>Grand Blanc- </em>I knew of Lincoln, but I really wasn't familiar with his game until the last few weeks. He has put on a nice show, snagging some web gem catches and looking like a very natural TE. I think as he matures, he could become a big mismatch for defenses to figure out. He has a quick first step for a TE, along with a big body that can get physical with smaller DBs. I don't know how much he will continue to grow, but if he wants to lean into the TE role rather than becoming a big WR, he can hit the weight room and become an issue for the next couple of seasons! </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Milton Standifer IV, </strong><em>Roseville- </em>Another guy who is no stranger to MVP's is Milton. He is a 6'1 ATH in the class of '26 with some really positive attributes. He continuously makes plays, running by defenders, or cutting off routes abruptly leaving him really wide open. He does a really good job of adjusting to the ball in flight, and can go up and high point the ball. I really wasn't too familiar with Milton until recently, but I am super excited to see what he can do in person over the coming months and couple of years! </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Rashad Waller, </strong><em>Loy Norrix- </em>Rashad is a really athletic kid who has shown some really nice ability, and I think he has some potential to live up to! He's a burner who is a problem in space. He thrives getting the ball and turning upfield for extra yardage. I would like to see him become a consistent deep threat, but overall I like were he is at so far. His hands seem good, and with his ability to make guys miss, I expect him to continue evolving as a threat on every inch of the field! </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
