<p>The state of Washington is loaded with prospects in the classes of 2027-2031, and also have a ton of players who are currently flying in under the radar.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's a look at the top wide receivers in the class of 2028, along with some players who could pop in the coming months:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'], Graham-Kapowsin — The athletic 6-foot-3, 180-pound pass-catcher is still only 15 years old and recently ran a laser-timed 4.54 40.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That's absolutely flying given his age and size.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Halasz caught 64 balls for 1,019 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and is already one of the state's most productive pass-catchers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He holds offers from Nevada, Sacramento State and San Diego State.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But he's a future double-digit offer guy and should be a four-star prospect sooner rather than later.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Prep Redzone is sky-high on the emerging star. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='984711' first='Maxten' last='Cook'], Lake Stevens — The Lake Stevens sophomore had an exceptional sophomore campaign, hauling in 34 receptions for 555 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 16.3 yards per catch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That performance came after averaging 19.2 yards per snag as a freshman.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cook, who runs a 4.5 40, is a big play waiting to happen, and the 6-foot-2, 175-pound playmaker should emerge as one of the state's leading receivers soon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='991884' first='Scottie' last='Dinwiddie Jr.'], Decatur — The multi-sport athlete made his presence felt in the big way as a sophomore. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-1, 185-pound playmaker racked up 1,234 all-purpose yards with 901 receiving.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dinwiddie had 10 total touchdowns, averaged 112 receiving yards per contest and had an 86 percent catch efficiency rating on targets.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He's rising fast and is a clear-cut player to watch going forward.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Big things are on the horizon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1335368' first='Josiah' last='Laurence'], Cascade Christian — The 6-foot-3, 195-pound pass-catcher is one of the fastest-risers in the entire state.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-3, 195-pound receiver was wildly productive as a sophomore, racking up 37 receptions for 745 yards and nine touchdowns in seven games.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That performance earned him first-team all-state honors, league MVP and, of course, first-team all-league honors on both sides of the ball,. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So far, Laurence holds a lone offer from Portland State, but it feels like only a matter of time until he's a double-digit offer guy.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Grant Peterson, University — A fast-riser in the rankings, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound athlete had a big sophomore season that was impossible to ignore.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Peterson hauled in 55 receptions (school record) for 649 yards and five touchdowns.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His emergence should lead to even bigger things going forward, but he's already in the school record books.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1807588' first='Kyran' last='Sessoms'], Lakes — Sessoms was a second-team all-league selection as an outside linebacker/defensive end, but is also a great offensive weapon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He's been impressive on the camp circuit and was a breakout star last fall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It will be fascinating to see how he develops as he adds size and gains further exposure. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='986727' first='Treylon' last='McGraw'], Heritage — An explosive 5-foot-9, 162-pound athlete, McGraw made our midseason all-state team as a sophomore.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For the year, he hauled in 38 catches for 658 yards and and 10 scores while adding dynamism on special teams.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McGraw isn't the biggest guy on the list, but he's a special playmaker who will continue to be among the best prospects in Vancouver. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1570251' first='Draven' last='Butler'], Mt. Spokane — [player_tooltip player_id='1570251' first='Draven' last='Butler'] is back in the state of Washington after a stint at Huntington Beach High School (California).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He has early interest from Oregon State, Sacramento State, TCU and others.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Butler should emerge as one of the top playmakers in Washington this fall. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2112968' first='Luke' last='Shaw'], Bellarmine Prep — Shaw hauled in 51 receptions for 835 yards and eight scores as a sophomore last season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot, 170-pound two-way standout could break the 1,000-yard mark this fall. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1743630' first='Stockton' last='Parrish'], Southridge —Parrish was a do-everything athlete for Southridge last season, playing wide receiver, defensive back and elsewhere.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot, 170-pounder was more productive on defense as a sophomore - with 56 tackles and three interceptions - but he's got a chance to really shine as an offensive weapon as a junior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1615888' first='Brody' last='Buxton'], Prosser — A highly-productive sophomore, Buxton was a first-team all-league wide receiver and return man, as well as a second-team all-league defensive back. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 5-foot-11, 165-pound Swiss Army knife plays much stronger than his measurements suggest, and that could be because of his status as a workout warrior (245-pound bench, 375-pound squat).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='985368' first='Madden' last='Carr'], Sumner — The football/track athlete played both JV and varsity ball for a loaded Sumner squad last year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He compiled 23 receptions for 420 yards and seven touchdowns, and was a willing/developing blocker. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Big things should be on the horizon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='986441' first='Raziah' last='Patterson'], Lakes — The multi-sport athlete could really pop this year at Lakes, and is a player to watch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1083083' first='Jace' last='Bailey-Otis'], Woodinville — The 5-foot-11, 160-pound wide receiver/defensive back is still growing and adding weight, which should serve him well as he continues to develop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bailey-Otis suffered a knee injury but is re-gaining his form with WipeMeDownBoyz and has definitely landed on our radar. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A fully healthy season will be noteworthy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1815805' first='Cruz' last='Asay'], Prairie — An intriguing 6-foot-4, 170-pound wide receiver/defensive back with some upside, Asay is a player who could really pop in the coming season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1678422' first='Max' last='Gibson'], Camas — The sophomore is a three-sport athlete at one of the state's best programs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That alone is intriguing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But the 6-foot-3 playmaker uses his frame well as a jump-ball threat and is an true redzone threat.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As Gibson becomes a more complete receiver, he should continue to flourish. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>De'Kaylin Palea'ae, Spanaway Lake — The 6-foot-1, 165-pound pass-catcher is playing for Washington Air Raid and has flashed significant playmaking ability this offseason.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1337930' first='Quentin' last='Carroll'], Mt. Spokane — Carroll started as a freshman on both sides of the ball and continues to land on our radar.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1655881' first='Heath' last='Voegtlin'], Bainbridge Island — A physical 6-foot-2, 190-pound two-way playmaker, Voegtlin was weapon both downfield and as a gadget player, taking short screens and end arounds for big plays this fall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As his role continues to expand and evolve, he has upside. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1339177' first='Waylon' last='Abercrombie'], Tahoma — The FSP pass-catcher made several big downfield plays for Tahoma last fall, and could see an expanded role next season.</p>
