After wrapping up the class of 2025, we have now moved to the class of 2026. With the newest rankings update for 2026 class being officially posted, I'll be taking the next couple weeks to break them down by position. After already covering the quarterbacks and running backs, here are our top wide receivers in the class of 2026 in the state of Kentucky!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212337"],"_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-6769c1a108827"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='212337' first='Trevy' last='Barber'] continued to establish himself as the top wide receiver in the state in his class this season. Barber played a key role in Bowling Green's 5A State Championship run, catching 79 passes for 1,327 yards and 22 touchdowns in 15 games. Trevy is a dangerous deep threat, using his speed to blow by opposing defensive backs with ease. He is also a very skilled route runner, using quick breaks in his routes to create separation. Barber also played a key role on special teams as a returner, returning one kickoff for a touchdown this season. Trevy currently holds multiple Division I offers and I expect more to come his way as I believe he has the talent to play as high as the Power 4 level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894941"],"_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-6769c1a108887"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='894941' first='Ronald' last='Lunz'] is a wide receiver who has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to stand out as a junior. Lunz finished the year with 42 receptions for 617 yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games. He does a great job of using his speed and smooth breaks in his routes to create separation with ease. Lunz is also impressive after the catch, showing the ability to use his speed and elusiveness in the open field to turn short passes/screens into big gains. Ronald currently holds multiple Division I/Power 4 offers and I expect more to come his way as he is a very talented wide receiver prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506774"],"_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-6769c3fbae113"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1506774' first='Grayson' last='Harris'] is a wide receiver who jumped onto our radar with a very impressive junior year. He finished the season with 89 receptions for 1,368 yards and 13 touchdowns in 11 games. Harris is a dangerous deep threat on the outside, using his quick release and speed to create separation with ease. He also does a great job of tracking his ball over the shoulder to make catches in stride. Harris doesn't currently hold any offers but he should be a player for college coaches to keep an eye on heading into his senior year as he is a Division I caliber talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["331727"],"_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-6769c782ac9d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='331727' first='Chadyn' last='Morris'] unfortunately missed most of his junior season due to injury but was productive when on the field, catching six passes for 83 yards and a touchdown in three games. Morris is a skilled route runner, showing the ability to use smooth breaks in his routes to create separation. He is also very impressive after the catch, showing the ability to use his speed, elusiveness, and strength as a ball carrier to pick up extra yards. Chadyn currently holds offers from Howard and Kentucky Wesleyan, and I expect more to come his way as a senior as he gets back into the mix after returning from injury. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401704"],"_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-6769c782aca2c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">To wrap up our top five wide receivers in the class of 2026 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='401704' first='Dylan' last='Lee']. Lee had a strong junior year, catching 46 passes for 608 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games. Dylan has explosive speed which he uses to blow by opposing defensive backs with ease in the deep passing game. He is also dangerous in the open field after the catch, using his speed and elusiveness to turn short passes into big gains. Dylan also scored one rushing touchdown this season and played a key role on defense at corner, finishing the year with 28 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown). Lee doesn't currently hold any offers but I expect some to come his way soon as he has received some college interest and has the talent to play at the Division I level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
