Class of 2026 WRs who could break out this Spring

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm excited to see how these WRs fare during camp season! These WRs are ranked toward the bottom of the positional rankings, but still- anyone who is ranked is a great high school football player. Plus, I think that most of these WRs have a legit chance of getting recruited this Spring! Here are my updated opinions of each of these five receivers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617512"],"_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-67cd780a2e2d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boyne City was high on the list of teams I wanted to see last season, and Owen is a big reason behind that! First off- <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15098452/674a2c21ce73d8d9eca0f89f">watch the tape.</a> Owen has some fun highlights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What I like most about Owen's game is that he always plays fast. The first highlight showcases a creatively designed run right up the gut. Owen breaks a few tackles stiff arms a defender, and earns a tough first down. Then, his next couple of highlights show a few great deep catches. That's pretty much his tape- a couple of plays designed for him, and Owen seems to have found a lot of success last season. Owen does need to significantly improve his route running and overall fluidity. He looks like a solid athlete- though he needs polish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1291397"],"_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-67cd780a2e351"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Too low? Honestly, probably. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braylon had a nice season for Hudsonville, including some great postseason performances. Most notably, Braylon is a great route runner. Several good comebacks, and good timing with his QB. Plus, a good couple of screens and blocks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love Braylon's foundation. He's a good route runner and obviously has great coaching. The couple of things that hold Braylon back are A. Size and B. Lack of explosive plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Size speaks for itself. Very, very hard to be recruited at WR at any size. With the explosive plays, Braylon should work on speed and/or contact balance to give him a higher floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["269547"],"_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-67cd780a2e3ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zayne had some very bright moments during his 2024 season! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His first highlight shows a great slot fade and absolutely blown coverage. Good TD to kick off the tape. Next, a solid drag/slant route at the goalline, outrunning the DB and earning separation. The rest of Zayne's tape shows more solid routes and decent separation. He's a very good high school wide receiver!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From a recruiting standpoint, Zayne needs to stand out this offseason. I like his burst off the line of scrimmage, so I hope he's able to show that alongside consistently good routes. If he can play good, sound football, I could see D3 offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613955"],"_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-67cd780a2e3ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quinlyn was a very consistent two-way player for Allendale. Offensively, he's a great possession target. His first two highlights showcase average comeback routes and a good possession catches. Then, his tape transitions to defense and special teams. Defeneisvely (DB), he's able to showcase his athletic ability a little more. His pass defense highlights show above-average speed as he seems to easily stick with receivers downfield. Also, Quinlyn is a solid, but not overly impressive, run defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like everyone in this article, Quinlyn is a great high school football player. I hope he's able to attend college camps this offseason and earn an offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1576996"],"_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-67cd780a2e430"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another guy who is likely ranked too low. Upon watching his tape again, I totally missed with the ranking- Mikah could be a big sleeper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mikah is 6'2", has a great athletic profile, and he's a dual-sport athlete (basketball). Plus, his highlights show great flashes. The beginning of his tape shows a decent comeback route but great catch on a high pass. Second, an even better comeback route and a good possession catch. Not a ton of receiving highlights, but I'm very intrigued by the explosiveness and catch radius. Quick note- Mikah also has plenty of blocking highlights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mikah could be a sleeper. Holt's offense struggled a lot this season, and that's not the fault of him. I think that Mikah has a chance to truly shine this offseason, and I hope to see offers come his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
