New York Stock Up Showcase: Wide Receiver Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With our region's first significant snowfall imminent and looming, I was back on the grind. On Saturday, December 13, 2025 Prep Redzone was boots-on-the-ground in Warwick, New York as we hosted our latest rendition of the Stock Up Showcase. Below are my notes from the position group referenced in this article's title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am not sure what I missed. Maybe it was the tail-end of his reps that I caught; maybe I was just sleeping on the kid. Whatever it might have been, my biggest regret from this camp was not getting the chance to get a closer look at [player_tooltip player_id='1987620' first='Vladimir' last='Doricent']. Doricent, a 2026 graduate, just always seemed to find ways to get open. No matter what the route or depth, Doricent appeared to be making uncontested catches all over the field... [player_tooltip player_id='2057204' first='Zaire' last='Jacklyn'] was one of the more twitchy prospects I got a look at. Jacklyn certainly made it look like he could jump into a second-story window with how he got up for the ball. That fast-twitch muscle fibers were also evident in how he appeared to burst out of his stance. Without looking back, I would venture to saw he had strong combine results. Lastly, on comeback-type routes, Jacklyn had the presence of mind to come back to the ball, aggressively seeking it into his possession in order to put in that work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the better route runners in attendance was Jake Fruscio. During indy I noticed how Fruscio made sharp cuts around the cone, never to round them. This same skillset translated to his route running ability, where his razor-like breaks created space for himself. Additionally, Fruscio showed that he can adjust to the ball well. One particular rep that impressed me was where I saw him extend across and behind his body in order to come up and make a play on a bad ball... If I had to pinpoint one prospect who benefited in terms of improvement from attending, it was [player_tooltip player_id='2079861' first='Austin' last='Lanera']. A rising junior, Lanera's performance improved with each passing rep of his that I watched. With a young, lanky frame, here is plenty to work with and build on physically. One thing I caught, late, was that Lanera is excited to run with the ball. Rightfully so; however, he needs to secure the ball before making his move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I typically do not engage or coach prospects in attendance up, but toward the end I could not help myself after watching one of Gio Bowley's final reps. Earlier on, I admired how Bowley was able to adjust to high balls that came in hot. He also did a great job of exclusively using his hands to catch the ball, while also extending out to reach for it. However, on a curl route I saw him wait for the ball to arrive. This gave the defensive back time to close and compete for it. I just <em>had </em>to remark to Bowley that the ball is best in his hands. He is a playmaker and a dude. Get the ball and get it now! Attack it when it is up for grabs!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New York Stock Up Showcase Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-bigs-eye-test">Eye Test - Bigs</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-skills-eye-test">Eye Test- Skills</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-mankarious-offensive-positional-mvps">My Most Valuable Offensive Players, by Position</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-mankarious-defensive-positional-mvps">My Most Valuable Defensive Players, by Position</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-back-linebacker-notes">Defensive Back + Linebacker Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes">Defensive Line Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-linebacker-notes">Linebacker Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-offensive-line-notes">Offensive Line Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes">Quarterback Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-running-back-notes">Running Back Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-tight-end-wide-receiver-line-notes">Tight End + Receiver Notes</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-york-stock-up-showcase-wide-receiver-notes">Wide Receiver Notes</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
