In the first place spot on my list is Demond Green Demond Green 5’11” | 170 lbs | WR Bryan Station | 2027 State KY , a wide receiver at Bryan Station High School.

I also like Green’s strong catching ability off the short pass and his ability to hit the gas off the snap to get open for the deep pass.

Fryman stands out with his ability to haul in the short pass and blast past the defense in the pocket, using his footwork and durability to keep the play alive. I also like how Fryman can create excellent seperation down the stretch, proving he can get open for the deep pass and punch into the endzone for the touchdown.
Claiming the number three spot on my list is Tysin Weaver Tysin Weaver 5’11” | 170 lbs | WR Simon Kenton | 2027 State KY , a wide receiver at Simon Kenton High School.

I also like how Weaver can get open for the long pass and push off the defense in coverage. Weaver also showcased his ability to dive for the touchdown pass.
Another skilled prospect to watch for is Carlo Chicko Carlo Chicko 5’11” | 200 lbs | WR Lawrence County | 2027 State KY , a wide receiver at Lawrence County High School.

I also like Jointer’s ability to be durable in the pocket, proving he can utilize his strength to shake tackles and march forward.
