<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're continuing our look at the rising sophomore class by breaking down the wide receivers.

Here we look at five stock-risers, two from watchlist to ranked and three from within the rankings.

He followed up an excellent freshman season (38 catches for 578 yards) with a strong spring, bringing in offers from Power Four schools across the state. While it remains to be seen if he's going to hold onto the top spot in the rankings throughout high school, we know he's going to be near the top all the way to the end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616138"],"_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-684971ed5d23c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hutchens rocketed up our board after a huge outing at the CFI Showcase in May. Hutchens' big frame and impressive long speed allow him to both create space and make catches when covered. The upside here is tantalizing and he's already made some plays as a freshman. His size and frame make him a candidate to have a huge sophomore season and beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1421082"],"_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-684971ed5d291"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lynch is an elite talent with the ball in his hands and made a huge impact on varsity as a freshman at running back, in the slot, and in the screen game. Don't let his size fool you, he'll run through arm tackles and isn't afraid of contact. We expect him to grow into a more traditional receiver as he gets older, but regardless of where he plays as a sophomore, expect big plays from the Lincolnton receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616136"],"_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-684971ed5d2d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lhuillier moved from our watchlist to ranked after I did a film review of every 2028 watchlist receiver in the state. Though he spent more time on defense than at receiver as a freshman, his athletic ability transfers best to the offensive side of the ball. He has good size, speed, and a great vertical, all traits that should help him adapt as he continues his high school journey.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608472"],"_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-684971ed5d31c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis-Hilton isn't a pure receiver for Mount Pleasant, but he's likely going to play the position at the next level. He's elusive in the open field and because of that trait, he was often used as a gadget guy as a freshman, racking up over 500 rushing yards and 250 receiving yards. His soft hands, long speed, and flashes of next-level route-running give him a projection as a receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
