Newly Ranked 2029 WRs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We released a <a href="https://prepredzone.com/north-carolina/rankings/2029-north-carolina-high-school-football-rankings/">2029 rankings update</a> on Monday, and we're diving into new player evaluations for the sophomore class. We added 44 players to the database in this update, so we have plenty of guys to write about. After going <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/10/behind-the-scenes-of-the-2029-rankings-update-midseason/">behind the scenes</a>, it's time to look at the newly added wide receivers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Which 2029 WRs Were Added to the Rankings?</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2264562"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ada39b5ee5d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While Topsail is certainly a run-first group, Salcido has had some success as the primary deep threat for a blossoming passing game. The sophomore isn't the biggest receiver, but he knows how to find space and make catches when he's open. He can stretch the field (31 yards per catch) and his quarterback looks for him when the ofense needs a big play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2163384"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ada39b5ee611"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery isn't going to be counted on in key spots this year, thanks to the receiver depth and talent at Providence in the upper classes. That said, the future is bright for this young man. He loves to work over the middle, catching the ball with his hands away from his body and holding on through contact. I'd love to see more of him, but recognize he's probably a year away from being a starter, and that's okay.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2347668"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ada39b5ee635"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After being forced into playing quarterback as a freshman, Wilson has transitioned to receiver, where he's been one of the most productive pass-catchers in recent memory at Parkland. He has a good feel for getting open, especially when the play breaks down. His shiftiness in the open field allows him to make guys miss and to pick up yards after the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2454017"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ada39b5ee65a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daye has excellent height and the frame to add weight and strength in the coming years. Heading into the season, I wasn't sure what to think of the Capitals' passing game, but Daye's emergence has added a vertical element that's been missing over the past several seasons. He gets down the field in a hurry and makes plays when the ball is in the air.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453978"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ada39b5ee679"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lewis has excellent size and a knack for getting open, especially against zone coverage. The sophomore has been a huge part of a wildly successful inaugural year for Felton Grove. Lewis has been in the middle of plenty of key plays that have led to the Galaxy overachieving in their first year of varsity. More than that, he's a legit college prospect, one of the first to come from that program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>There's plenty to come from Matt Morrow, Zane Rowland, and me on the 2029 rankings over the next week.
