2028 MD Rankings Update: Top WRs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the recent 2028 MD/DC/DE rankings update there was a noticeably strong and deep WR core at the top of the rankings. The 2028 wide receiver group as a whole is very deep with lots of quality throughout the rankings. However with 5 WR prospects coming in the top 25 total rankings, I breakdown those five where each prospect is a top level player. It is splitting hairs ranking some of these guys and the one below should be all easily battling for the #1 receiver spot over the next couple years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["964935"],"_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-69a0809068059"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Retaining his hold on the #1 WR spot in the 2028 rankings, Kam is coming off an huge breakout sophomore campaign. He made huge plays all year long for Spalding as the took home the MIAA Championship once again this year &amp; not just at WR either. Kam was a weapon in the return game as well this season with multiple KO returns for TDs adding value to his game as a prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At WR Kam is extremely shifty with oily hips and quick feet allowing him to be an excellent route runner. Able to drop his weight, stop &amp; start on a dime and explode out of breaks/cuts. That allows him to get open easily for big time plays as well as being a weapon in open field, juking defenders out of their shoes and getting big YAC. Kam also possesses strong hands and a natural pass catcher. Able to pluck the ball out the air and make difficult &amp; spectacular catches consistently. Best out of the slot, Kam is great at working up the seam. He is dominant across all 3 levels of the passing game. Able to find holes in the coverage, win over the top, or take short passes/jet sweeps the distance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On pace to be a National Recruit at the WR position. Kam already holds multiple P4 offers and should rack up a ton more this spring. A do it all playmaker, Kam is must see TV and one you need to see live in game. Look forward to seeing more of Kam this fall and continue to see his game develop. Will be hard to over throw him as the #1 WR in this strong &amp; deep 2028 WR group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">With his 2nd TD pass of the 1st half <a href="https://twitter.com/officialLb2029?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@officialLb2029</a> hits <a href="https://twitter.com/KeithMiller2028?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KeithMiller2028</a> who makes the defender look silly &amp; runs it by the rest of the D🚧 into the end zone 💯 🔥 🔥 <br><br>With that score <a href="https://twitter.com/SpaldingFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SpaldingFB</a> ties it up at 21-21 🏈 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhyNP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WhyNP</a><a href="https://twitter.com/NPCoachZim?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NPCoachZim</a> @kschmittASHS <a href="https://t.co/UG1nvobJvD">pic.twitter.com/UG1nvobJvD</a></p>&mdash; Todd Haldis (@tdhald) <a href="https://twitter.com/tdhald/status/1964129417174630570?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644197"],"_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-69a08090680d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Corey is a big body X WR with size &amp; athleticism who made a big jump in production this fall from his freshman year.

A wide receiver who has both improved his hands and route running this year, Corey has made strides in becoming a dominant split out target. He is a good overall athlete with a long stride and a good leaper. Hard to stop once he gets going and tough to bring down. Corey shows good body control when adjusting to the pass, big strong hands, and also is a plus blocker at the WR position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Already holding more than a handful of P4 offers and more to come.

A player I have seen live multiple over the years, Brandon continues to develop and impress. He is a do it all WR, excelling in all aspects of the position. A proficient route runner. Brandon stems his route while pressing vertical and is able to stick his foot in the ground for crisp snap out of his breaks. He's got big hands, attacks the ball and snatches it out the air. A wide receiver who can win multiple ways I really like the player Brandon is becoming. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colleges are taking notice of his development as well. Brandon picked up a double digit offers this winter and recently just picked up an Ohio State offer. A top player in the state in of MD and a WR who should continue to be productive and dominant into 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just been informed my full season stats<br><br>- 1,103 yards<br>- 71 receptions<br>- 17 touchdowns<br>- 12-1 record<br>- City champion, Regional champion, State champion <a href="https://twitter.com/MustangGang410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MustangGang410</a> <a href="https://t.co/HreaoGfKme">https://t.co/HreaoGfKme</a> <a href="https://t.co/W5NN7pvW2h">pic.twitter.com/W5NN7pvW2h</a></p>&mdash; Brandon “ Jeff “ Jefferson (@Deuce2Era) <a href="https://twitter.com/Deuce2Era/status/2001311707541495955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769742"],"_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-69a0809068195"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stefan is one of two SJC receivers on this list making for a dangerous combo for defenses to try and stop. The standout feature of Stefan is his route running. He may be the best pure route runner in the class. Able to drop his weight, stop &amp; start quickly and use body feints to get the DBs off balance and create separation. Stefan also has a smooth long stride with good burst of the LOS. He's also has excellent hands. Snatches the ball out of the air and consistently catches the ball away from his body. Capable of making the difficult &amp; spectacular catch as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Generating plenty of college interest this winter, Stefan has added three P4 offers, giving him just shy of a double digit total of P4s right now.

A good frame with very nice arm length and wide shoulders, he should continue to fill out with good muscle. A twitchy player with good acceleration off the snap and excellent speed. He is a vertical threat at all times able to get over top of defenders for big plays. Jordin is also a very effective route runner. Able to stems his routes, can stick &amp; go planting his foot in ground to cut / change direction on a dime. Mainly working in the slot and winning up the seam and the middle of the field, Jordin had some big games this past fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Currently only holding three P4 offers total, Jordin is still a sleeper prospect in my mind.
