NJ's High Flying 2030 WRs: Part II

<p>Part 2, here we come. As mentioned in the previous article, NJ is <strong>stacked </strong>with wide receiver targets. The 2030 class continues to grow and gain more notoriety, and before they hit the high school fields, they have one more season to prove themselves this upcoming season. Stay tuned for more article throughout the fall highlighting these future stars. </p>   <p><em>Make sure to check out the previous articles in the series and follow me on X at <a href="https://x.com/JonDavalosFB">@jondavalosFB</a> for up to date player evaluations</em>.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1506581' first='Brayden' last='Berkley'] is a wide receiver that I wrote about earlier in the year and am continuously impressed with what I am seeing out of him. A big framed, strong handed target, Brayden currently lines up out wide but may find his most natural position to be a tight end in the future due to his commanding presence on the field. Truly a versatile weapon for his offense, Brayden has consistently been a mismatch lining up against defensive backs not as gifted size wise.</p>   <p>Brayden is going to be a huge problem for defenses in the red zone. Brayden is able to use his bigger frame to his advantage, boxing out defenders and playing keep away with the ball when it's thrown his direction. He has demonstrated great concentration when coming down with the catch. Maybe most impressive is Brayden's speed when running routes and how aggressive he runs with the ball. Smaller DBs bounce off of Brayden as he carves a path down field. </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/BraydenBerkley/status/1958546488008581240 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1628526' first='Michael' last='Jenkins'] is so good that he is getting coverage <strong>twice</strong> this week on Prep Redzone Next. An absolute monster of a downfield target, Michael has one of the biggest height advantages at his level and some of the biggest hands to go with it. Michael's film was nothing short of exhilarating. While there isn't a lot of tape to go off of yet, Michael was able to impress with just a few posts. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Michael displays athleticism in the purest sense. With the ability to produce an immense amount of power from his lower body, Michael is able to accelerate quickly, out jump his competition, and break on his routes with an authoritative step. He has impressed at multiple camps this offseason and is destined to land at one of the top private schools in the state next season. Already receiving an offer from Temple, it's safe to say [player_tooltip player_id='1628526' first='Michael' last='Jenkins'] is going places. </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/MichaelJen28391/status/1959278582372454723 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1740851' first='Yandel' last='Baez'] is a player I am just becoming familiar with but will now be paying attention to for the foreseeable future. An athlete and star on both sides of the ball, Yandel has shown that he has the twitchiness and speed to thrive on deep and shorter routes. I am thoroughly impress with his acceleration after the catch and ability to turn upfield quickly and leave the DBs stumbling behind. If Yandel has green in front of him, you can be sure he will be pulling away from the defenders on his way to the end zone. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Yandel also performed well last season from the linebacker position, and might even be a more impressive prospect on the defensive side of the ball. Yandel made a few picks last season and was able to show off his athleticism by high pointing the ball and changing direction quickly to reverse and run towards the opposing end zone. He even made his presence known in the opponent's backfield often, as he was able to react quickly and close in on the ball carrier with a relentless effort. </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/yandelbaez20/status/1954579648341221457 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">A wide receiver and defensive back, [player_tooltip player_id='1790911' first='Kashmere' last='Dickerson'] is one of those rising athletes that scouts should get familiar with quickly. Equipped with a bigger frame and dimensions, Kashmere stands out on the field and looks to be developing into a true threat in jump ball situations and in the back of the end zone. To go with his stature, Kashmere's hands and ability to stretch out for the ball makes any pass thrown his way seem catchable. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Kashmere has that dog mentality with the ball in his hands, finding lanes with great vision and hitting them hard. Despite his size, Kashmere has proved to be a very slippery ball carrier as he is extremely crafty when he weaves through defenders on his way down the field. I am very excited to see more film on him and see all the things he does in 2025.</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/icookdefenders/status/1947770200511685038 </div></figure>
