Small-Town 2025 Receivers On The Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are some small-town receivers bound for big 2024 seasons?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone has all the details...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ran Ogletree - Harris County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking for game-changing speed? That's exactly what Ogletree brings to the Harris County offense. One of the top receivers across the 5A class, this 5-foot-11 175-pounder knows how to use his speed to his advantage. One of the more productive receivers across West Georgia last year, Ogletree is dynamic with the ball in his hands and lit up the stat sheet last year, catching 62 passes for 943 yards and six touchdowns. He does a good job of testing defenders down the field and tracks the ball well behind defensive backs. A 1st-Team All-Region selection, Oglreee played better and better as the season went on and finished his junior season strong, going over the 100-yard mark in two of his final three games of the season while scoring a touchdown in each of his last four games. He's a receiver on the rise and he'll only get better and better this off-season. If that happens and continues to develop as a route-runner, look for Ogletree to have a dominant senior season in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='339693' first='Zeke' last='Whittington'] - Habersham Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An explosive wideout with excellent burst and breakaway speed, Whittington is fast off the line and can get behind defenders in a hurry. He's a weapon down the field and shows good ball skills when making a play on the ball. An impressive overall athlete, Whittington is a quick, twitchy receiver who can catch the ball and get up the field. He changes directions well and has the potential to have a giant senior season next fall. As a junior last fall, the North Georgia pass-catcher caught 63 passes for 862 yards and 9 touchdowns. He's sure-handed, runs well, and was a nightmare for defenders to cover for several seconds. He's one of the better overall receivers in the area and one of the most productive wideouts across Northeast Georgia. Look for him to light up the stat sheet next fall as a senior and prove to everyone that he's capable and good enough to play somewhere at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='569364' first='Bryson' last='Campbell'] - Athens Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A small-school weapon on offense who can make plays in multiple ways, Campbell is a bigger receiver in the area at 6-foot-1 175-pounds who proved to be a mismatch against smaller defenders down the field. He's a sure-handed pass-catcher who can both both receiver and tight end right now. He was a go-to weapon all year long for the Athens Christian passing attack as he caught 67 passes for 901 yards and four touchdowns. He runs well for his size and showed that he can be used as a vertical weapon while also helping in the screen and short passing game. He's tough to bring down by just one defender down the field, and with his size and speed, Campbell makes a consistent impact every week. Look for him to keep up his excellent play in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
