2028 Rankings Release: Top 5 Freshman Wide Receivers

Ward checks into our rankings as the number one receiver in the class of 2028, and is coming off a stellar first season for Pittsburg, one of the top programs in the state. He is a extremely explosive downfield playmaker with strong hands and can make off platform catches with ease. Ward is a precise route runner that is quick in and out of his brakes while getting in defenders blind spots before breaking off his routes. He is very technically sound for his age and has true downfield speed and natural ball skills with outstanding body control in the air. Ward currently holds offers from Arizona, Colorado state, North Carolina, San Diego State, San Jose State, Washington, UNLV, in Tennessee.     Tubbs is the next up and coming great playmaker at the receiver position from Bosco, and is already well on his way to becoming a national recruit in this 2028 class. He is another burner they can play on the outside or in the slot, and is a well polished route runner with good explosion off the ball and third level speed when getting over the top of safeties. He is another natural pass catcher that shows good wiggle in short area, quickness/burst with the ball in his hands and can make defenders miss in space. Tubs currently hold offers from Missouri, Michigan state, Arizona, Arizona state, and central Michigan.     Taylor is part of a very talented and young receiving core across the valley in the 2027 and 2028 class and could be the best one by the time it is all said and done. He has great length and long speed for the position and covers a ton of ground off the ball while a true vertical threat over the top. He shows a huge catch radius, can make contested catches over multiple defenders and has tremendous body control and balance while in the air and tracking the ball. Taylor moves very well for his size and is a fluid athlete that is a no-brainer power five caliber receiver with tons of upside and length as he continues to grow and develop. He currently does not have any offers, but should start seeing his stock rise soon and should be a 10+ offer guy by the time he graduates.     Bozeman is another elite playmaker with good length and size already as a freshman. He is explosive with a ball in his hands and shows he can lineup on the outside or even in the backfield with true downfield speed and a good explosion through the first two levels. He shows he can track the ball well over the top with strong hands and pluck the ball out of the air when high pointing. He is a true vertical threat that can stretch the field over the top and has tremendous body control when going up and getting the ball in traffic and can seemingly easily beat man coverage on the outside and get off press corners. Overall, he is a dynamic and explosive athlete that excels after the catch and is a no-brainer FBS level talent.     Savage checks into our rankings as a top five player at his position across the 2028 class, and is coming off a very impressive first season for Ventura. He is a big and physical receiver that shows he can separate downfield and beat zone coverage while doing a nice job at settling before quickly knifing upfield. Savage shows he can run a variety of routes both in breaking and out breaking, and is a natural pass catcher that can track over the top and adjust well while the ball is in the air. A very fluid and well built athlete with still 3 years left in his prep career, he is another no brainer high level playmaker that will be hauling in offers sooner rather than later.
