2027 Rankings: Wide Receivers Looking To Make A Splash!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will be taking a look at some receivers that are on the watch list that you will need to know this season. These are the players looking to make a statement this year and who you need to add to the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["652497"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ffb0e57a4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hamilton is in my opinion one of the top receivers in the state that was able to make a statement in a big way last year, almost cracking the 1,000 yard mark as a freshman. He has a lot of speed and can create separation with his route running ability. With a year under his belt, I think the game will slow down even more for him and he will be one of the top receivers in 4A. He has a wide catch radius and is a dawg that will be taking the state by storm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1330914"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ffb0e57aa6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Macias is a receiver that has the ability to create space with his route running but when he doesn't, his large catch radius makes up for it. He can get in and out of his breaks quickly and shows a good burst of speed. He has strong hands and can go up and high point the football. He is a two-way player that will make some noise on both sides of the ball but I feel with his progress this offseason he will pop onto the radar at receiver this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["705785"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ffb0e57aec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKenzie is a two-way player that with his skill set can have a breakout season on both sides of the ball. He is a receiver that has great footwork and can change speeds in a hurry. He has soft hands and can go up and pluck the ball out of the air. He is a solid route runner that is smooth being able to create separation. He will be a player to know early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["480299"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ffb0e57b2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucero is top tier when it comes to his catching ability, being able to go up and high point the ball and come down with it even in traffic. He is a good route runner and is able to find space in a hurry, settling in the zone and being a tall target for his QB. He is not afraid to do the dirty work and will go pick up a block for his teammates. He will be one of the top receivers in this class to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["567049"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ffb0e57b70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zeller is a receiver with a lot of speed and has the ability to push the defense vertically. He has strong hands and is a dependable receiver that you can find quickly to move the sticks. He is shifty in the open field and can make the first defender miss, being able to pick up chunk yardage. He was a player already on the radar but will be a candidate for a breakout season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
