2027 Watchlist Wide Receivers That Need Recognition

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Jersey is very strong at the wide receiver position in each of the next few classes. That statement holds true for the 2027 class as well, as there's talent not only in the ranked receivers but also a host of talent on the watchlist. These four receivers have the potential to make a statement next fall when they step onto the field for their teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["857107"],"_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":"A freshman receiver that gained a ton of experience in his first year on the field, [player_tooltip player_id='857107' first='Nahjae' last='Smith'] is ready to to step into a bigger role come the 2024 season. Accumulating 268 receiving yards and a rushing and receiving touchdown, Nahjae is a pass catcher with a huge catch radius and natural ability to outjump the defender for the ball. He displays exceptional explosiveness as he leaps off of one foot to get elevated above his opponent. However, Nahjae's biggest impact on the field may be as a ball carrier. With elite foot work and vision with the ball in his hands, Nahjae is the type of receiver you want to get the ball to quickly so he can use his agility to carve through defenses.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a169"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19180120/65943aac66559504245e04c3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656d2413bc520"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910757"],"_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":"Adding to arguably the scariest pass attack in the state next fall, [player_tooltip player_id='910757' first='Kyron' last='Dubose'] is going to play a pivotal role in DePaul's success next season.
