The updated Top 150 player rankings for the class of 2026 in the state of Kentucky has been officially published! With that being said, I wanted to take the next week or so to break down these rankings by position. After already covering the quarterbacks and running backs, here are our top wide receivers in the class of 2026 in the state of Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212337"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='212337' first='Trevy' last='Barber'] has continued to establish himself as one of the top overall players in the state in his class. Barber had a very impressive sophomore season, catching 84 passes for 1,189 yards and 16 touchdowns in 15 games. Trevy is a very skilled route running, showing a quick release along with the ability to use smooth breaks in his routes to create separation with ease. He has also shown the speed to blow by opposing defensive backs in the deep passing game. Barber also threw one touchdown pass and returned one kickoff for a touchdown this past season. Trevy currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky, Miami (OH), and Austin Peay, and I expect more to come his way as he has received a lot of college interest and is a Power 4 caliber prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["212336"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='212336' first='Marlon' last='Harbin'] is a wide receiver that has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out this past season. Harbin finished his sophomore year with 60 receptions for 703 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games. Marlon has explosive speed which he is able to use to blow by opposing defensive backs in the deep passing game. He is also dangerous after the catch, showing the speed and elusiveness to turn short passes into big plays at any given moment. Marlon also returned one kickoff for a touchdown and made an impact on defense this past season, coming away with two interceptions, returning one of them for a touchdown. Harbin currently holds offers from Kentucky, North Alabama, Louisville, and UT Martin, and I expect more to come his way as he is a true Power 4 caliber wide receiver prospect.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["894941"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='894941' first='Ronald' last='Lunz'] is another wide receiver that has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to impress this past season.

Ronald lines up on the outside where he is a dangerous deep threat, using his speed to create separation from opposing defensive backs. He is also dangerous after the catch, showing the ability to turn short passes into big plays at any given moment.

He is a dangerous deep threat, showing the ability to use his speed to create separation along with the ability to look passes in to make catches in stride. After the catch, he has shown the speed to run away with the defense along with the elusiveness to make defenders miss in the open field.

Lee is also an impressive route runner, showing the ability to use smooth breaks in his routes to get open.
