St. Charles County WRs to Watch in 2026

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the month of July comes to an end, we are just weeks away from the 2026 high school football season. With that in mind, I wanted to highlight some players at each position that I have my eyes on in an often overlooked talent pool in St. Charles County. After already covering the quarterbacks and running backs, here are some wide receivers to keep an eye on in the St. Charles area this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1188399"],"_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-6a6d00993f4ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1188399' first='Deandre' last='Jones Jr.'] will be looking to come back strong after missing his junior season due to injury. Jones is a very skilled route runner, using his quick release and sudden breaks in his routes to create easy separation. He has also displayed impressive athleticism and a high catch radius he is able to attack passes at their highest point then bring in catches away from his body with ease. Deandre doesn't currently hold any offers but he is a player that should be on the radar of college coaches this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1287040"],"_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-6a6d00993f54e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1287040' first='Coleman' last='Murchison'] is coming off a strong junior year in which he caught 32 passes for 761 yards and 11 touchdowns. Murchison has explosive speed which he uses to blow by opposing defensive backs with ease in the deep passing game. When defensive backs are able to stick with him, he has shown the ability to use his combination of athleticism, concentration, and strong hands to bring in catches in traffic. Murchison committed to Illinois State at the beginning of the month where I can see him being a productive receiver at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2060029"],"_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-6a6d00993f599"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2060029' first='Landon' last='Hamilton'] caught my attention with an impressive sophomore season. He finished this past season with 37 receptions for 618 yards and five touchdowns. Hamilton has very reliable hands which he uses to make catches away from his body regardless of what type of coverage in around him. He has also shown the speed to create separation in the deep passing game. Landon is a player who I expect college coaches to start paying close attention to going into his junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1741592"],"_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-6a6d00993f5de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">My final wide receiver to keep an eye on in St. Charles County this upcoming season is [player_tooltip player_id='1741592' first='Terrence' last='Curry Jr.'] As a freshman, Terrence hauled in 12 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns. He is a very impressive route runner, using smooth breaks in his routes to create separation from opposing defensive backs with ease. Curry has also proven to be a reliable jump ball target, using his athleticism to attack passes at their highest point and strong hands to bring in catches through contact. Terrence will definitely be a player worth paying close attention to as his role in the Orchard Farm offense continues to grow over the next few seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
