<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we're looking at which 2026 receivers were just outside our most recent rankings update, but are poised to make the next one. These guys are all Division One prospects and have a bright future ahead of them. Look for them to have a strong finish to their junior seasons and take that momentum into this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Imari Jehiel, 6" 175, Forney</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Imari has the shake to make defenders miss in space, he has the body control to adjust to the football midflight, and has hands like stickum. He can separate late downfield, he's dynamic in the return game, and has plenty of explosion at the top of his route. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1650022' first='Preston' last='Jackson'], 5'10" 160, Mesquite</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson has strong hands through contact, he powers through arm tackle attempts and shows elite concentration. He plays fearless &amp; will put his body on the line, he's got exceptional body control and has serious YAC potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1645329' first='Benny' last='Okwura'], 6'4" 210, St. Thomas</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long prospect who could play tight end or receiver at the next level. His size makes him tough to bring down after the catch, he's got deceptive speed and can consistently win 1 on 1 on the outside. He's strong, physical, sure-handed, and can get to his top gear in a hurry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1650046' first='Ty' last='Sexton'], 5'11" 170, Bridgeland</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sexton has outstanding vision, smooth change of direction, and can drop his hips &amp; stop on a dime at the top of his routes. He's a fluid route runner that can get low and adjust to poorly placed throws and has a knack for finding the holes in zone coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1649928' first='Malachi' last='Augustus'], 6" 180, Nimitz</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malachi can toe-tap to make tough catches on the sideline, he's a springy leaper who attacks the football at its highest point and is quite slippery after the catch. He's got impressive contact balance after the catch and knows how to stem defenders to widen them away from his release. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Aiden Whitmore, 6'4" 190, North Crowley</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whitmore plucks the football out of the air, he can hold the line on the nine route and can easily adjust to back shoulder throws. He allows for blocks to set up ahead of him, he's a crafty route runner and can use his frame to box out smaller defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1650118' first='Lathon' last='Latiolais'], 5'10" 175, Prosper</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dynamic return man who can flip the field, he can split two defenders and be off to the races and will use route tempo to fool defensive backs. He can take the top off a defense, he's a natural at tracking the deep ball and has plenty of wiggle in the open to make defenders miss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Today, we're looking at which 2026 receivers were just outside our most recent rankings update, but are poised to make the next one. These guys are all Division One prospects and have a bright future ahead of them. Look for them to have a strong finish to their junior seasons and take that momentum into this offseason.
