Luke is a big-bodied receiver who can use his size to create mismatches with DBs and has the strength in his hands to hold on to contested catches. You can move him inside or outside, on the ball or off, and he can beat press coverage. Luke tested the waters as a sophomore with eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown, building the foundation for what should be a breakout junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1051919' first='Kaisen' last='Jones']</em></strong> <a href="https://x.com/kaisenjones_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@kaisenjones_)</a> - Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1051919' first='Kaisen' last='Jones'] is a prospect who is flying under the radar at the moment, but I think will blow up once more coaches catch wind of the Panther's wideout. Kaisen had some solid production in his first season on varsity, recording 16 receptions for 266 yards and two touchdowns. To date, I would say Kaisen might own the distinction of top route runner in the 2027 cycle, using crisp footwork and smooth breaks to flow through his routes and create separation from defenders. Add in his reliable hands and toughness to go over the middle of the field, and you have a budding receiver prospect with max upside!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1616939' first='Joe' last='Sullivan']</em></strong><a href="https://x.com/JoeSullivan07"> </a><a href="https://x.com/JoeSullivan07" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@JoeSullivan07)</a> - The Dragons have some serious firepower in the receiver room with one of the top '26 duos and a rising junior in [player_tooltip player_id='1616939' first='Joe' last='Sullivan']. In 10 games, Joe recorded 30 receptions, 416 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. Sullivan projects well as a slot receiver who can use his quick twitch to torch slower DBs/LBs. His explosiveness off the line and quick acceleration allow him to eat up a DB's cushion before leaving them in the dust at the breakoff point in the route. Lots to like here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1616938' first='Alex' last='Kimminau']</em></strong> - The Archbishop Bergan Knights are another team that boasts an explosive receiver corps. One name that went under the radar despite solid production was junior [player_tooltip player_id='1616938' first='Alex' last='Kimminau'], who hauled in 31 receptions, 435 yards, and four receiving touchdowns. Kimminau stands out with his sharp route running and ability to create separation. Alex also showed he has the route tree to attack and be effective at all levels of the field, with a nice burst after the catch to tack on extra yardage. Do NOT let Alex get behind your secondary because you will pay for it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1616932' first='Deric' last='Kelley']</em></strong> - Finishing the feature with a 6-man standout that you're not gonna want to miss. Southwest's [player_tooltip player_id='1616932' first='Deric' last='Kelley'] erupted last season for 43 receptions, 867 yards, and 12 receiving touchdowns. Kelley is a bigger-framed receiver who can outphysical his opponents to win at the catch point. Deric looked especially dangerous when asked to go deep, proving why he averaged over 20 yards per reception. Still some raw aspects to his game coming from the 6-man ranks, but the fundamentals and potential are there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2027","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"2410","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"2498","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68748e532ab5b"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make sure to follow&nbsp;<em>@PRZ_OscarG</em>&nbsp;for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
