Class of ‘26 January Update: Four Wideouts Primed to Standout

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of '26 rankings welcomed in it's latest group of newcomers with the first update of 2025. This January update increased the current junior class to 460 ranked prospects, as more than 80 players were added.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One position group that added over 10 prospects were the wide recievers. This latest incoming bunch now puts the wideout group at 44 ranked players. Here's a look at four primed to standout next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1573525' first='Yamnoel' last='Oyola'] – Trinity, 5'8”, 160</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's been documented how well Oyola of Trinity performed in 2024, and as a result he's earned himself a spot in the rankings. Oyola debuts as the 17th ranked wideout in the class and the 175th ranked prospect overall. He finished his junior season as Trinity's third leading receiver, but could potentially be their go-to guy during his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1573523' first='Joshua' last='Abrams'] - Arkansas City, 6'0”, 170</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Up next is Abrams of Ark City. He impressed during the ‘24 campaign as he finished his junior season as the second leading wideout for the Ark City Bulldogs. In addition to his strong year at receiver, Abrams shined in the secondary as well. He earned a <em>4A All-State Honorable Mention</em> nod and a <em>2nd Team All-League</em> selection for his play at defensive back. Abrams checked in just outside the Top 300 at No. 308 overall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1573517' first='Hayden' last='Nall'] - Eisenhower, 6'0”, 165</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming in five spots behind Abrams is Nall of Eisenhower. Nall is the third wideout from this report that was featured last month during our recaps of the ‘24 season. He was a great No. 2 target for an explosive Eisenhower passing attack, which led to him receiving <em>All-State</em> and <em>All-League</em> honors. Nall made his debut as the 35th ranked wideout in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1601740' first='Tyler' last='Lord'] – Marmaton Valley, 6'0”, 155</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last but certainly not least is Lord of Marmaton Valley. Lord was one of the final additions to this update, as he cracked the rankings at No. 460 overall and is the 44th ranked wideout in the class. He's proven to be a pretty consistent receiver through three varisty seasons. The '24 campaign was Lord's third with at least 15 or more receptions for over 300 yards and five scores. Given his consistent pace, Lord could potentially reach 1,500 career receiving yards and 20 touchdowns during the '25 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
