<p>The 2026 recruiting cycle in the state of Tennessee has been one filled with a lot of talent, especially on the perimeter at the receiver position where there are still a handful of prospects who have yet to make a decision on their college commitment and are contributing at a high level against the competition.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>These receiver recruits come from a wide range of archetypes and programs, yet each one produces consistently each and every week for their programs to help them compete every single week, not falling off when the competition rises to the max.</p>

<p>First off, [player_tooltip player_id='966033' first='Brandon' last='Goliday'] has been on a heater for an undefeated Antioch program, helping his quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='378901' first='Andre' last='Adams'] break plenty of records every single week.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I saw him in person against arguably a top-five program in the state to that point and he produced at an even higher level, bringing in every single target that came his way no matter the coverage or offer list of the defensive back. He already has over 1,200 receiving yards on the season and that number is only going to grow rapidly.</p>

<p>Arkansas State offered recently and could be a program to watch to land his talents.</p>

<p>Despite the lack of team success, [player_tooltip player_id='284143' first='Bryson' last='Maddox'] has been producing at an overwhelming rate as well, with nearly 1,000 receiving yards just six games into his senior season at Clinton. His lengthy 6-foot-5 frame, good athleticism, and natural movement ability allow him to torture defenses vertically as a downfield threat, pulling in any target that comes his way. Middle Tennessee could be a program to watch here down the stretch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='964719' first='Donteze' last='Joy'] is a well-built receiver that has over 2,000 career receiving yards while being the primary option for quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='424594' first='Graham' last='Simpson'] over the years at Westview, a team that should compete for a state championship this season. Every week, he just comes in and produces for a high quality high school team in the state.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1103005' first='Corben' last='Reynolds'] is another stocky receiver around six-foot that just continues to produce and haul in everything thrown his way. As his talented quarterback has settled in to his first year starting, he has started to explode statistically, recording 473 yards and 8 touchdowns over his last four games for Riverdale. </p>

<p>Finally, there are three prospects that have a handful of offers each and will be working to decide where they will go to college over the next handful of months: [player_tooltip player_id='540040' first='Oliver' last='Bender'], [player_tooltip player_id='820949' first='Brayden' last='Carroll'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1300097' first='Kaiden' last='Dewey'].</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bender has been a massive boost to the Nolensville team, giving them a true weapon on the outside with his length and athleticism. He has been used in a variety of ways and produces good things for the team when targeted.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Carroll is a versatile playmaker at Bradley Central and that includes a recent move to quarterback to help his team out the most at the current moment. However, he has very intriguing upside as a receiver with good size and speed and natural movement ability, allowing for him to be a true weapon at any level of the field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dewey has stepped up into a prominent role as the top receiver at arguably the top program in the state with Baylor, replacing now-Tennessee Volunteer Joakim Dodson. He has good size and knows how to get open with his tempoing of routes and natural speed, making him a rock-solid option in the slot with dynamic potential on top. He will be a steal for a college program.</p>
