Here are ten wide receivers to watch. (No Particular Order).</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='401196' first='Kamauri' last='Austin'] is an App State commit. Austin has an argument to be the top wide receiver in all classes for Arkansas. He displays a quick release off the LOS because of his good acceleration. His footwork allows him to become a vertical threat quickly. Austin consistently creates separation from opposing defensive backs with his good change of direction, balance, and burst. He is a smooth route runner, ensuring no wasted motion in his routes. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.4 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/WhynotKam/status/1929282823120154801 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='401183' first='Catavion' last='Taylor'] holds multiple G5 and FCS offers from Arkansas State, East Carolina, Tulsa, Lindenwood, and more. Taylor can play the X or Z due to his versatility in attacking all levels. He's a smooth route runner with good hand-eye coordination and strong hands. Add him to your recruiting board. </p>   <p>Note - 3.3 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CatavionTaylor/status/1888345606583971990 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='213495' first='Blair' last='Ken Irvin III'] is an Arkansas commit, choosing the Hogs over schools like Arkansas State, Purdue, and more. He displays good ball-tracking skills as he can haul in any pass over the shoulder. Irvin possesses good body control and YAC ability, making him an easy target for the quarterback.</p>   <p>Note - 3-Star</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BlairIrvinIII/status/1932123059172896956 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1509016' first='Kambrien' last='Blackmon'] is a wide receiver prospect that I expect to explode even more in 2025. He does have experience at running back. His good foot quickness allows him to eat up space quickly and create separation off his breaks. Blackmon showcases very good hand-eye coordination, body control, and strong hands. He can adjust mid-route and successfully catch passes in contested situations, making him a dependable target in the red zone or on third down.</p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.2 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kamblackmon/status/1934304596094054594 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='256895' first='Chase' last='Hancock'] is a prospect to add to the recruiting board. He can defeat press-man coverage by attacking the defender's shoulder with quickness, UOH, and burst. His fluid movement and good start/stop ability keep man-coverage defenders on their toes. Hancock represents a vertical threat, showcasing both speed and good footwork. His ability to create separation consistently, whether from deep routes or sharp breaks, is attributed to his good change of direction, balance, and explosive burst. </p>   <p>Note - 3.2 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ChaseHancoc2028/status/1921260650220736514 </div></figure>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">MORE TOP WIDE RECEIVERS:</h2>   <p>2026 WR [player_tooltip player_id='402179' first='Luey' last='Jaime'] - Hot Springs</p>   <p>2026 WR [player_tooltip player_id='646464' first='Caleb' last='Tucker'] - Bryant</p>   <p>2026 WR [player_tooltip player_id='1158063' first='Josiah' last='Warrior-Benson'] - Joe T.
