He's beginning to fill out his long frame and looks almost like a big running back with the ball in his hands. Expect another strong season from the rising senior as he develops chemistry with a new quarterback and receiver group in 2026.     Marshmon is electric with the ball in his hands, and his suddenness and lateral movement skills will land him a college scholarship. He returned three punts for touchdowns last year, and while the offense sometimes struggled to get him consistent touches, he was a dangerous receiver, too. He's the top returner at the position for Trinity Christian, so expect a big year from the rising senior in 2026.     Jenkins is an excellent route-runner who had the look of a breakout candidate in 2025. He broke his collarbone early in the season, ultimately returning in late October with an immediate 200-yard game. He has good size and his feel against zone coverage makes him an excellent safety blanket on an offense that wants to throw the ball.    <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Younger, Potentially Elite Recruits</h3>    Clark is the top overall prospect in the class of 2028 for us and he's already garnered national attention. His blend of size, speed, and technical abilities make it easy to see why he's so popular on the recruiting trail. After two highly successful years at Charlotte Country Day, Clark is transferring to powerhouse Providence Day, where he'll face several elite corners in the non-conference slate.     Already, White is one of the most athletically gifted prospects we've ever covered. A multi-sport athlete, White is pushing 6-foot-6, is a track star, and had over 800 yards as a freshman to lead the class in receiving. He has a ridiculous vertical and the raw traits to be a national talent. As he continues to develop as a pure receiver, look for him to gain national attention.    <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other NCISAA Wide Receivers To Know</h3>   [player_tooltip player_id='1150380' first='Steele' last='Fletcher'] | Providence Day   Dreshaun Smith | Christ School   [player_tooltip player_id='1060044' first='Kingston' last='Curry'] | Charlotte Country Day   [player_tooltip player_id='1149032' first='Marcus' last='Sales'] | Cannon School   Our preseason coverage is just getting started.
