Virginia 2029 Rankings Review: Wide Receivers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The wide receivers for our 2029 class are very strong, with [player_tooltip player_id='1694550' first='Zion' last='Goode'] holding firm on the number 1 ranking and Clinton Ferris bumping up to 5th. [player_tooltip player_id='1719560' first='Elijah' last='Nickens'], Andrew Rodgers and Elijah White are a few of the many that have been on our radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2131039,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/02/image_cd0166.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2131039" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1694550"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6995d565ed44f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing for Roanoke Catholic [player_tooltip player_id='1694550' first='Zion' last='Goode'] is our number 1 ranked recruit overall for the second consecutive update. He is 6'3 and runs like a deer the way he can separate from defenders makes him look like a power 4 wideout already. Not only does he have impressive speed, the way he creates separation and sheds tackles stands out too. Goode is bound for offers with this upcoming recruiting cycle, the young man is a star.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1589005"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6995d565ed4b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Madison County has had a baller for a couple years now in [player_tooltip player_id='1601617' first='Clinton' last='Ferris Jr'], time for the rest of the state to know about this dude. Perhaps the best route runner in this class, Ferris is so good off the snap and his stride is deceptive making defenders look foolish trying to cover him. He is the type of player teams are going need to game plan against for years to come, you cannot cover him 1 on 1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1719560"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6995d565ed523"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1719560' first='Elijah' last='Nickens'] really came on strong as Osbourn's season wore on, he saved his best for last gashing the Eagles longtime rival Osbourn Park. Nickens bumped up to 11th overall and 3rd for this loaded position group. He has a chance for even bigger role next season with Osbourn being hit by the graduation and transfer bug. Good slot wideout who is excellent and finding openings in against a zone defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ElijahNickens/status/1987734540274794636?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ElijahNickens/status/1987734540274794636?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1583154"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6995d565ed5ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now playing for St James Academy, [player_tooltip player_id='1583154' first='Jameer' last='Ross'] cracked our top 25 with his work at both receiver and safety to be honest. His future may be on the defensive side of the ball, but his work at on offense cannot be ignore. Seeing significant playing time as a freshmen for the Strivers, Ross has elite speed and footwork.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RossJameer/status/1988283438885990418?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RossJameer/status/1988283438885990418?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
