Rex Schofill
Rex Schofill
Schofill is a highly productive prospect coming off a record-breaking junior season. As an athlete, Schofill won’t scare you off the bus at a featherweight 5’9. However, he is a natural at the WR spot and makes defenses pay as a result. He possesses some legit speed, especially with the ball in his hands. When given a lane to run, he is capable of shooting through gaps and unlock a new area of the field. He relies on deceptiveness in his routes, creating sudden pauses and hesitation in DBs to exploit. He flashes some solid hands, high pointing the ball and making some competitive catches in traffic. Schofill would be a high floor pickup for some smaller schools looking to add some speed to their WR room.
DC Sondles
DC Sondles
Sondles is an impressive athlete at the WR spot and is still under the radar as a recruit. He comes in with a stockier 5’11 160 frame, running low to the ground. He skates around the field, moving with fluid patterns and creating separation with deception. Doesn’t have the twitchiest footwork, but he can get creative at the top of his routes with spin moves and other creative tricks. He remains in stride when he catches the football, allowing him to stretch the field and break the tape in the open field. For a shorter receiver, he tracks the ball nicely over his shoulder, tracking it around the arms of longer CBs and plucking the ball out of the air.
Kendall Sims
Kendall Sims
Kendall Sims is a savvy WR prospect and was the unsung hero of the Schley County offense. Sims is a smaller prospect at 5’9 150, but possesses the traits and skillset to make plays at all three levels, regardless of his size. Sims is a blazer with the ball in his hands, flashing the straight line speed to out run angles. He isn’t afraid to bounce the ball outside, where he is too slippery for the average defender to catch. Sims flashes decent footwork at the top of his route, but sets up his routes by quickly getting up on the toes of defenders before he breaks, eliminating cushion immediately. Several times on film, he flashes some impressive ball skills, playing bigger than his size by leaping to high point the ball. Sims is vastly underrecruited and is someone I could see making some noise at the FCS level.
Quentorion McClendon
Quentorion McClendon
McClendon is a super underrated prospect, but flashes D1 level athleticism and playmaking ability. He comes in at 5’9 160, but he is able to play on the outside thanks to his speed off the line. He can quickly get past press coverage and eliminate cushion, which sets up the rest of his game. He is a true deep threat, getting past DBs and tracking the ball over his shoulder to reel in explosive catches. He can easily break off other underneath concepts as well, typically winning out thanks to his athleticism. On tape, he was also given the ball on a reverse, where he won the edge and began weaving through chaos. With a little refinement around the edges, McClendon could become a WR that can consistently impact all three levels of the field. As of now, his speed off the line and ability to track the ball makes him stand out. He is extremely underrecruited, but is a D1 caliber athlete.
Ethan Willingham
Ethan Willingham
Ethan Willingham is the tallest player on this list and might be the most projectable athlete as well. He comes in at 6’1 175 and flashes the ability to attack all levels of the field, especially the first level. He can give you some contested catch ability thanks to his size, but he is dangerous after the catch, making sharp cuts in the open field and letting blocks develop as he tracks down the sidelines. He might not be the most polished route runner, but he can get creative at the top of his route. He showcases some late, soft hands, allowing him to pluck the ball over defenders and reel in catches in a crowd. Similar to a few others on this list, Willingham could be an underrated pickup for some FCS schools looking for a size-speed combo in the slot.
