As we approach the season, we have begun a new round of rankings updates. The latest class to be updated in Kentucky is the incoming senior class of 2027. With our newest Top 250 being released for the class, I will be taking some time to break them down by position. After already covering the quarterbacks and running backs, here are our top wide receivers in the class of 2027 in the state of Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["466365"],"_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-6a6795708ce88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='466365' first='Ja'Hyde' last='Brown'] has made a name for himself as one of the best receivers in the entire country. He has an outstanding junior year, leading the state in receiving with 91 catches for 1,376 yards and 22 touchdowns in 12 games. Brown is a technician as a route runner, using his quick release and sudden breaks to create easy separation. He also has the speed to pose as a deep threat along with the athleticism to win in contested catch situations on a regular basis. Brown also returned one punt and a kickoff for touchdowns last season. Ja'Hyde is committed to Louisville where I can see him being a true impact player at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1200706"],"_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-6a6795708cf36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1200706' first='Tyler' last='Fryman'] is coming off a very impressive junior season in which he led his team in receiving with 62 catches for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns in 13 games. The main thing that stands out with Fryman is his explosive speed which he uses to blow by opposing defensive backs to create separation and to pick up extra yards after the catch. He has also shown the ability to make plays out of the backfield, running the ball 18 times for 283 yards and four touchdowns as a junior. Tyler also returned three punts for touchdowns and threw a touchdown pass this past season while also making an impact on defense, recording 35 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two interceptions. Fryman is committed to Kentucky where I can see him developing into a key piece of their offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1130910"],"_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-6a679980c96f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1130910' first='Rashad' last='High'] put together a solid junior season, finishing the year with 25 receptions for 300 yards and 10 touchdowns in nine games. He is a long, athletic wide receiver who is very difficult to guard in man coverage. In contested/jump ball situations, Rashad uses his high catch radius to attack passes at their highest point and strong hands to bring in catches through contact. He has also shown the ability to get up the field quickly after the catch and use his speed to pick up extra yards. High also ran the ball 13 times for 122 yards and a touchdown last season, and recorded 17 tackles on defense. Rashad currently holds multiple Division I offers and I expect more to come his way going into his senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227241"],"_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-6a679980c974a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1227241' first='Jason' last='Hagan'] played a key role in Trinity's 6A state title run last season, catching 33 passes for 660 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games. Hagan is a skilled route runner, using smooth breaks in his routes to create separation from opposing defensive backs with ease. He has also shown impressive speed which uses to pose as a deep threat and to pick up extra yards after the catch. Jason currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky and Lincoln, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more come his way soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1330209"],"_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-6a679980c9791"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">To wrap up our top five wide receivers in the class of 2027 in the state of Kentucky, I have [player_tooltip player_id='1330209' first='Aiden' last='Wilson']. Wilson is looking to make a strong return after missing his junior year due to injury. Aiden has shown the ability to create easy separation as he is able to use his speed to run right by opposing defensive backs and quickness to change direction with a sense of urgency in his breaks. He has also shown the ability to use his speed in the open field to turn short passes into big gains at any given moment. Aiden holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I expect a lot of eyes to be on him this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
