Where will these 2026 WRs be recruited?

The receiver position is the single most saturated position in football. Every year, there are some very good receivers, probably with D2 skill, who fall to D3 or lower. Needless to say, it's VERY hard to make it as a wide receiver. Today, I'll share five more of my receiver evaluations for the Class of 2026- I consider all to be D3 prospects.    Strengths   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Good speed</li>   <li>Good COD</li>   <li>Examples of good route running (comebacks, post)</li>   <li>A few instances of good catch in traffic</li>   <li>Good release</li> </ul>   Weaknesses   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Doesn't stand out with vision, return game, etc</li>   <li>Few explosive plays</li>   <li>Questionable vision</li>   <li>Bad blocker</li>   <li>No contact balance</li> </ul>   Enough strengths to be a great high school slot receiver, but doesn't stand out enough to be a Division 2 prospect. Jumps out with athletic ability- could definitely develop at D2 level. Good footwork and change of direction. Needs to work on blocking, contact balance, all-around physicality.   Great D3 prospect who should be highly sought-after at that level.     Strengths   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Athlete. good testing numbers</li>   <li>Great straight-line speed</li>   <li>Explosive off line of scrimmage</li>   <li>Higher ceiling Weaknesses</li>   <li>Extremely raw route runner</li>   <li>Little route variation</li>   <li>Weak IQ</li>   <li>Bad physicality</li> </ul>   Carter is a mixed bag. His athleticism is good, especially his straight-line speed. Though, his routes are sloppy. He tries double moves, but they're very slow, no head/shoulder fakes, and doesn't fool even small-school DBs. Little route variety otherwise. He's also a poor blocker. Gets in front of his man but consistently fails to lock on his target or give any sort of drive. Division 3 player     Strengths   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Solid athlete</li>   <li>Great Stats</li>   <li>Good 50/50 ball winner</li> </ul>   Weaknesses   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Sloppy route running</li>   <li>Bad footwork</li>   <li>Does not fight for extra yards</li>   <li>All-around just above average receiver</li> </ul>   Ronnie has a good connection with his QB, Andrew Knight. Plays best when 1-on-1 with a DB running downfield. Can box out DB to win 50/50 ball. Has a few decent short-intermediate catches. Little highlight variety otherwise. Looks decently athletic but not impressed. Need to see more. Can develop at Division 3 level.     Strengths   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Great measurables</li>   <li>Good 50/50 ball winner</li>   <li>Catches with hands</li>   <li>Secures tough catches</li>   <li>Dual-Sport athlete (basketball)</li> </ul>   Weaknesses   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Bad competition</li>   <li>Average athlete</li>   <li>Sloppy all-around route running</li>   <li>Zero contact balance</li>   <li>Bad vision</li> </ul>   Pratt could develop into a great receiver at the Division 3 level. Right now, he's poor - average in all areas except hands & body control. First things first, improvements in athletic explosiveness and route running would make a massive difference.     Strengths   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Leadership</li>   <li>Personality</li>   <li>Effort</li>   <li>Decent release</li>   <li>Tries to fight for extra yards</li> </ul>   Weaknesses   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Average athlete</li>   <li>Sloppy in-game routes</li>   <li>Not explosive</li> </ul>   Pierce caught my eye against Lowell. Obviously the best receiver on Marquette. Good deep ball tracking pregame. When Marquette went down, Pierce talked with his QB and tried to gameplan. Positive energy. Leader. Teammates respect him. Also contributed on kick return. Good personality and effort, but far lacking in athleticism department. Belongs playing D3 ball.
