2026 WR/DB Stock Risers

The WR/DB group in the Class of 2026 is looking stacked at the top. This article will go over several of the highest-risers during this update. P.S.- ALL of these prospects have a D2 floor.    #70 --> #31   Gash has had an absolutely phenomenal offseason, and that's why he's earned such a big rankings boost. He's been to countless camps, countless 7on7s, and has put in a huge amount of offseason work. Namely, I'm extremely impressed by Samson's route-running and contested catch ability. His film shows the exact same thing, plus good contact balance and open-field vision. Samson's upside is through the roof and I think we'll see all of his offseason work truly pay off this Fall.     #68 --> #49   It's extremely rare for someone to be ranked this high without taking a single Varsity WR snap. I've seen enough this offseason. New to the receiver position, Owen already displays great route running and phenomenal contested catch ability. Seriously, Owen shows INSANE seemingly natural talent in the receiver position. He still needs to work on the little details, and I'd imagine there's a learning curve making plays in the OK-Red. But once Owen gets comfortable, he'll undoubtedly be a phenomenal weapon with an incredibly high ceiling.     #49 --> #20   What do I really need to say about a Harper Woods DB? For several years now, Harper Woods has developed great DBs, and it continues with Jajaun. Playing on-ball man coverage (not press), Jajuan shows phenomenal confidence, patience, fast feet, and ball skills. Namely, Jajuan does a great job of changing direction in a snap and sticking onto the receiver. Once the ball is thrown, he of course has good ball skills. This offseason, Jajuan has demonstrated his offseason improvements and true upside, having earned offers from Eastern Michigan and Ball State.     #60 --> #36   Emory earns himself a good boost after a good offseason. His sophomore season film shows off great instincts from his Safety position. Specifically, I like his reactivity against the pass, and he's quite explosive when a ball is thrown his way. Against the run Emory immediately takes off toward the football and makes a ton of tackles. I will say, I'd like to see better pursuit angles and overall aggression from Emory. Still, he's a very high-upside DB from a storied program and I'm going to bet on a good season.     #77 --> #46   I am extremely bullish regarding Geroge Duggins. After a phenomenal showing at the PRZ Combine Series and more great offseason showings, I've never been more confident in George's upcoming Junior season. At the Combine Series, George tested great across the board. Later in the competition period, George did enough to earn camp MVP. Later in the offseason, Geroge had several more great showings including a recent Top Performance at the SMSB 7on7. All this, and I haven't even mentioned how much I love his Sophomore season film at Spring Lake. He's a star in the making, a high-tier GLIAC prospect at the very LEAST, and I'm very confident he'll have a phenomenal season at Mona Shores.     #74 --> #69   An all-region selection as a Sophomore, Brody is an All-State hopeful heading into the 2024 season. Brody is one of the better run-defense safeties I've seen. When playing deep, Brody reacts to the outside run/screen pass quickly and delivers a blow to the RB. When creeping toward the line of scrimmage, Brody plays like a linebacker. I would like to see a little more reactivity and physicality when playing closer to the line, but once he diagnoses the play, he still stops the run very effectively. That's not even to mention his good offseason and incredible LAX season. A good boost for Brody, and I'm looking forward to seeing him next season.
