We saw the importance of having a talented receiving core during this Monday's National Championship game in Atlanta. You can never have too much talent to spread the wealth out to on the perimeter. Today, I'm looking at which 2027 receivers you should keep an eye on this offseason. These guys are under-recruited right now, but they most certainly don't lack talent. I think they're in line for a big offseason and could see their stock rise fast.   As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='409746' first='Landon' last='Bogany'] 6'2" 200, Lewisville   Landon has a good looking frame, he shows easy concentration in traffic, and is a ferocious blocker out on the perimeter. He's a powerful runner after the catch, he's got strong legs and consistently falls forward to cap off a run. He's quicker than he is fast and uses deception to come open late on play-action passes.   Ryan Taylor, 5'11" 165, Harker Heights   A homerun threat who can take the top off any defense, he's got exceptional contact balance and is an extremely reliable goal-line threat. He can generate late separation downfield, he has the body control to adjust to back shoulder throws late, and makes easy work of man coverage in the slot.   Jayden Cowan, 6'2" 200, Fossil Ridge   Cowan doesn't hesitate to go get the football with a defender bearing down, he's got the leaping ability & hands to pluck the football on goal line fades and knows how to tempo down in the holes in zone coverage. He's got the hips to contort himself into awkward positions to make tough catches and has a massive catch radius for his size.   [player_tooltip player_id='465808' first='Alvin' last='Mosley'] 6'2" 180, Crawford   This kid consistently made ridiculous circus-like grabs on tape. He's smooth, has confident hands, and can hold the line on the nine route. He's got quick feet to beat press man, he takes pride in blocking on the outside and has the vision & patience to make something happen on called perimeter screens.   [player_tooltip player_id='1752632' first='Braylon' last='Fisher'], 6" 180, Columbus   Fisher is explosive at the top of his routes, he gets north and south following a reception and has the speed to outrun defenders to the pylon. He's got nifty footwork and can stop & start on a dime, he's a nightmare to tackle in space and will make defenders look silly on called double moves.
