SWMO Wide Receiver “Stat Monsters” 2026.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the saying goes "numbers don't lie". There has been quite a stigma about the Midwest, and the lack of a passing attack high school football possesses. Well these five Midwest Wideouts missed the memo because they put up monster numbers in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The evolution of the high flying passing offense in Missouri has been a joy to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2245388,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2245390,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a5128638dd85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nestleroad's numbers almost seem unreal. Carson put up 1324 Rec yards, 93 catches and 13 TD's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In Monett's air raid offense Nestleroad thrived as the #1 receiver. The Cubs tried to swing the ball to him on a regular occasion to try to get him out in space, where he does his most damage. Nestleroad showed really good hands, and made life pretty easy for quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1590229' first='Dylan' last='Washick']. He was very reliable and provided a great safety blanket to get the ball out quick and get those most needed gritty yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Going into his Senior year Nestleroad looks to duplicate his eye popping numbers of 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1883278"],"_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-6a5128638ddc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rover erupted in 2026 for 1,017 Rec Yards, 46 catches, and 11 Rec TD's. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1883278' first='Joelle' last='Rover'] burst on the scene in 2025, and helped Glendale be one of the most productive offenses in Southwest Missouri.

Rover loves to play above the rim, he has to be one of the best jump ball receivers in the 2027 class. He possesses great downhill speed matched with soft hands that he uses to snag the football at its highest point. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rover is just getting started in his football journey, I have a feeling Rover is just going to build on his highly productive Junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19954628/691237925e2825c27eafa739u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a512a32c212c"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590216"],"_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-6a5128638dde2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heman produced yards in bunches to the tune of 1,220 Rec yards, 74 catches and 9 TD's. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heman loves to stretch the field in Glendale's high flying offense. He was no doubt their best deep threat in the falcons offense. Standing at 6'2 184 pounds Heman is the perfect size to challenge the defense downfield. Not only does he have great size, but also phenomenal long striding speed that he uses to get over the top of a secondary very quickly. Heman is also one of the best in the business at tracking the football in the air and making some of the best catches i've seen all season last year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heman already has some college offers under his belt and I believe even more is yet to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19961182/6903fa4bab529b1a0ee573fau0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a512a32c214f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2245407,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1986702,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a5128638de08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Easley consistently produced great numbers logging 1,025 rushing yards, 10 rushing TD's, 632 Receiving yards, 40 catches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's not very common that you have one player lead your team in both rushing and receiving, but Easley is the exception for the Ozark Tigers.

[player_tooltip player_id='991868' first='Gage' last='Hale'] is such an explosive young sophomore for this Logan Rogersville offense.

A majority of the time it doesn't really matter what cornerback lines up across from Hale he routinely just runs right passed them. You just can't teach speed and agility, and Hale has both of these traits. He can get to point A to point B so incredibly fast, colleges are going lineup for a chance to put him on their roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gage's Junior year is approaching, and it might be a special one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18524889/69b37f18dd49ca80efe26f79u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5535947aa05"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
