<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the high school football season kicks off in Week 0, the spotlight is on the next generation of talent, particularly among the young wide receivers in the 2027 and 2028 classes. These underclassmen are already making waves with their athleticism, route-running, and playmaking ability, signaling that they could be the future stars of the game. Here are some promising young wide receivers to watch in Week 0 around the state of Texas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["447339"],"_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-66d2419b50097"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dj Reese is an explosive player with the football in his hands. He has elite quickness with shiftinesses in space that allows him to excel at yards after the catch. Reese is electric and he has the speed to take a short pass to the house for six. He saw some playing time last season but should be more involved in the Guyer offense this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["409746"],"_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-66d2419b50117"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bogany is a big target who runs sharp routes and he has the body control to shield off defenders in close quarters to make contested grabs. He has strong reliable hands that attack the football when he is targeted. He has the short area quickness to beat defenders off the ball and this allows him to get open early in his routes. Bogany is a red zone threat and he excels at winning on the 50/50 balls. He will see plenty of targets for the Farmers offense this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["801741"],"_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-66d2419b5015c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mays has the attributes that primetime players have at the wide receiver position. He has a long, lean frame at 6-foot-2 , combined with an extended catch radius and he has elite body control to that allows him to play above the rim. He is an explosive leaper who is a red zone threat with the ability to win on the fade jump balls. Mays is a smooth route runner who has elite quickness in space, which enables his to get open often. He will get plenty of targets in the Life Oak Cliff offense this season. Get eyes on him now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946511"],"_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-66d2419b5019d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson Jr. is primed and ready for Week 0. The rising sophomore from Grand Oaks, has the skill set that will make him a reliable target. He has elite quickness that enables him to beat defenders off the ball and he runs crisp routes. Jackson Jr. has strong, reliable hands combined with a large catch radius that allows him to attack the football at the catch point aggressively. Look for him to get plenty of targets in the Grand Oaks offense this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["588647"],"_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-66d2419b501de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Green is set to make his high school debut with a talented North Crowley team. He had a great fall camp and should see some game action this fall. He is a big target who run crisp routes, he has strong hands and his ability to play above the rim enables him to win on the 50/50 balls. Green earns his keep by being ferocious blocker making him an asset to the running game. He is a young receiver to keep an eye on in Week 0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
