Continue ReadingThe weather is finally turning a corner, and that means camp season is on our doorstep. This offseason, colleges across the country will be evaluating prospects for the sake of recruiting their next class of game-changers. This article features five receivers who could take major steps forward in their recruitment this summer.
Matthew is one of the best receivers in Michigan with zero offers. He’s always been a good receiver in my eyes, but really stood out at our Prep Redzone Combine Series. First off, Matthew has the length and height to be a great X receiver. On deep go/post routes, Matthew does a good job holding his stride and timing the ball to go up and high-point it. He also runs good comeback routes with little wasted movement. Honestly, I expected Matthew to test better than he did. He definitely plays much better than he tested, and that may just be a matter of testing the drills more. If Matthew can show up to camps while working on his combine drills, he’ll be a GLIAC target.
Highlights
I am supremely confident that Isaac will receive a GLIAC offer sometime this summer. Isaac is your ideal Z or X receiver. He has good enough route running and contested catch ability to consistently earn explosive plays. His contact balance and vision in the open field are also great. I’ve seen him with a few concentration drops, and he needs to work on earning separation, but those things can be cleaned up. Isaac is a proven receiver who will earn offers if he shows up to camps, I can almost grantee that.
Highlights
Micah is one of those players that quietly produces. A year ago, I wasn’t too high on Micah, but as I saw him last summer and during the season, I can tell he’s an awesome player. In college, I project him to be a slot/Z receiver, but he shouldn’t be confined to short-intermediate routes. Although he doesn’t have the height or arm length to be an X, Micah is one of the best contested ball catchers in the 2025 class. I’ve seen him climb the latter and earn contested catches in single and even double coverage. Micah needs to work on the rest of the route tree, especially routes where he has to make a quick cut. Still, he’s a great receiver who I project to be a phenomenal Division 3 receiver.
Highlights
Jackson is a very interesting receiver who has the potential to have a breakout 2024 season. Last season, he had a few solid performances breaking out good contested catch ability and release. Looks like he split time between JV and Varsity, but his time on Varsity showed some flashes. Better yet, he had several good performances at the Legacy 7on7 series. If he gets coached up a bit more this summer and works his tail off, he has the potential to be a great late bloomer who could earn offers.
Ryan Louch
Ryan Louch
Based off his film alone, Ryan is my #1 most underrated receiver in the 2025 class. He’s an extremely high-effort receiver who runs the entire route tree with great success. His out/in/comeback routes aren’t perfect, but he’s well-repped and has elite run-after-catch ability. Look him up on Hudl and watch the tape; he can catch a ball in tight traffic, and time and time again, he somehow evades the traffic and takes it to the house. Granted, he doesn’t face the best competition, but still deserves D3 offers at the least.
