Fast-Rising Wide Receivers Added To 2026 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which fast-rising wide receivers were added to the 2026 rankings?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='283818' first='Christian' last='Ward']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/christian-ward/"></a> – Walton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A breakout wide receiver to know in the 2026 class, Ward didn't catch a ton of passes last year for Carrollton, but he did take them for 362 yards and five touchdowns, averaging an outstanding 30 yards per catch. At 6-foot-3 185-pounds, Ward is an explosive runner who can sneak past defenders deep down the field. He brings size, outstanding burst off the line, and the ability to get open on his own. Now at Walton, Ward could be an easy go-to option for the Raider passing attack with a chance to light up the stat sheet as a junior. He already has a giant offer list from some of the country's top programs, and now, not only was he added to the latest 2026 rankings, but he comes in at No. 37 overall with a chance to climb even higher with a big 2024 season this fall. He's true weapon and could be one of the very best pass-catchers in Georgia for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Da'Khovin “D.K” Winn – Elbert County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A small-town Northeast Georgia wideout who absolutely earned to be added to the latest rankings, this 6-foot-2 170-pounder from Elberton is now ranked as the No. 180 overall prospect in the state after a dynamic sophomore season where he caught 36 passes for just under 600 yards and five touchdowns. A shifty receiver with excellent speed and big play ability, Winn has a lean frame but enough muscle to break tackles and pick up big yards after the catch. He's still flying under the radar as far as his recruitment goes, but this sleeper pass-catcher showed last year as a sophomore that he can absolutely play at the college level. With another big season this fall as a junior, look for college coaches to start taking notice. He can test defenders down the field while helping in the screen and short passing game. His stock is on the rise, and he's bound for a really productive 2024 season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/ga/kennesaw/north-cobb-christian-eagles/athletes/coker-ormsby/football/stats/?careerid=eifn3vhnis3bb"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1323186' first='Coker' last='Ormsby']</strong></a> - North Cobb Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An elusive Cobb County wideout with dependable hands, Ormsby was an easy addition to the latest 2026 rankings after a standout sophomore season in 2023. Already one of the top receivers in the Kennesaw/Woodstock area, Ormsby was one of the region's top pass-catchers last year after hauling in 35 passes for 552 yards and five touchdowns. He's an above-average athlete whos showed impressive acceleration and ball skills. A versatile receiver who can line up in the slot or on the outside, look for this promising receiver to have an even bigger season as a junior in 2024. If he does, look for his recruitment, and Prep Redzone ranking, to increase over time. For now, this North Cobb Christian playmaker is ranked as the No. 24 wideout and the No. 191 overall prospect in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
