Standout Performances- Wide Receivers To Watch Out For

We saw some terrific performances this past week all across the state- today we are taking a look at some of the WRs that have made waves recently!    Corey Barber has been on fire this season, the junior WR out of Spain Park has broken out this season and recorded several dominant performances through the first half of the year. Barber has emerged as the go-to target in his team's offense and has capitalized greatly. Barber is highly athletic- he plays with a ton of speed and quickness, runs great routes, and gains separation at every level of the field. With his speed, Barber plays with a ton of physicality as well- he frequently makes catches through contact and wears down defenders over the course of games. When it comes to his hands, Barber is an extremely reliable pass catcher- he fights off defensive backs to haul in some really difficult catches all around the field. Just this last week it was easy to Barber do this in his team's 42-7 win. Throughout the game, Barber recorded 7 receptions for 175 yards & TD vs Pelham- consistently finding ways to get open and make plays all game long. It's been super exciting watching Barber this season, he's continually impressed us and tons of collegiate programs each week. Watch out for him for the rest of this season!     [player_tooltip player_id='466867' first='Carter' last='Feagin'] is a really talented sophomore wide receiver out of McAdory that is quietly having a breakout season for his team's passing attack. At 5'10 160, Feagin is an electric wide receiver who can line up and make impacts at multiple spots on the field. Feagin is quick on his feet- he plays with a lot of speed, can run some sharp routes, and beats defensive backs in a variety of ways all around the field. It's really impressive how impactful and complete a wide receiver is already- he can run a wide variety of routes really well and is a threat at every level and spot on the field to make big catches. This past week against Central-Tuscaloosa, Feagin was a huge part of his team's 31-10 win. Feagin was explosive and able to make plays all night long, ending the game with a ridiculous stat line of 10 receptions for 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. Be on the lookout for Feagin going forward! He's a talented underclassman with a bunch of potential that is set to make plenty more plays.     [player_tooltip player_id='1347179' first='Peyton' last='Plott'] has been unstoppable for Auburn's offense this season- he's consistently made a huge impact on their passing attack week after week and shows no signs of slowing down. Plott is electric with the ball in his hands, everything he does is explosive and seemingly effortless. Plott plays with elite speed and acceleration that allows him to consistently make huge plays downfield and in the endzone. It's so easy for Plott to separate from defensive backs- he's a great route runner, has top-line speed, and can easily make defenders miss tackles with how elusive he is. It doesn't matter if he's running routes, carrying the ball, or returning punts/kicks, Plott finds ways to contribute his athleticism in any way he can. Last week in Auburn's matchup against Central Phenix City, Plott had a huge performance where he recorded 6 receptions for for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns on the night. Central Phenix struggled to find a way to stop him, and Plott came up huge in his team's 38-33 win- be sure to watch him throughout the rest of this year. Plott has had an awesome senior season and is bound to keep making exciting plays!     [player_tooltip player_id='1525038' first='Joshua' last='Jones'] is a junior wide receiver out of Baker that has put together a really good year so far this season. Jones has helped Baker's passing attack immensely- he's got a great set of hands and finds ways to move the chains every time he takes the field. Jones plays with a ton of speed and physicality that makes it difficult for opposing defensive backs to stop him. He has a great release off the line of scrimmage, can run a variety of routes well, and consistently wins matchups with defensive backs for the ball. Last week, Jones came up huge in his team's 47-0 shutout of Robertsdale. Baker did an excellent job passing the ball in this game and made sure Jones got his fair share- he ended the game with 5 receptions for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns. It's been really impressive watching Jones in this game- he's become a legit weapon in this Baker offense and is going to continue to dominate opposing secondaries throughout the rest of this season. Watch out for him going forward, you won't want to miss it!
