Continue ReadingToday, we will be diving into some of the wideouts who raised their rankings. All of these wide receivers have a unique skill set that they bring to the table, and all deserve to get their praise. Without further ado, let’s dive into the analysis.
Keck is going into his senior year at Pueblo West, and the receiver is primed for a great season! Measuring in at 6’5 217 pounds, Keck is a big body receiver who uses his frame to his advantage. Mixed with his good athletic ability, and he’s a threat. Last season, he accounted for 44 catches for 610 yards and 7 touchdowns. Keck has good athletic ability due to very good jumping, good speed, acceleration and change of direction. He has good separation quickness, using his physicality and athletic ability to create space between the defenders. Keck has very good ball tracking skills. Caught the ball within multiple defenders. He used his good body control to adjust above and come down with the catch. Very good run blocker as well. He uses his big body to overpower DBs or LBs creating lanes for his teammates. Low pad level and good hand placement to move them out of the way. Keck is a strong receiver who I believe will have a good senior season.
Highlights
The 5’10 165-pound wide receiver had a nice junior year. Throughout the season, he had 57 receptions for 828 yards and 10 touchdowns. Vaughn is an elusive wide receiver that excels out in open space. He has very good athletic ability due to elite change of direction, very good acceleration, speed, and balance. Vaughn showcased good mental processing by identifying zones and sitting in their voids. Very good release against press jam. He’ll use his nasty 1,2-shake to outmaneuver the DB at the LOS. He creates separation using his athletic ability, either juking out defenders or outrunning them. Vaughn has very good ball tracking skills. He uses his good concentration to come down with a bobbled pass, and will catch the ball between multiple defenders. Good catching, he plucks the ball out of the air. He uses his body to adjust either above or below coming down with catch. I’m very excited to see what Vaughn puts together on film for his senior year!
Highlights
Standing tall at 6’0 172 pounds, Doss was used in more of a scatback role for University. He was used as a running back and a wide receiver due to his athletic ability. As a running back, he accounted for 77 carries for 955 yards and 12 touchdowns with an average of 12.4 yards a carry. Insane. As a wideout, he had 39 receptions for 631 yards and 6 touchdowns. This kid is very electric. He has elite athletic ability due to elite speed, acceleration, very good change of direction, and balance. When the ball is in his hands, he is gone. Using home run speed to out run defenders. He has a very good juke move, and was breaking some ankles out there. He has good mental processing too. He’ll ID the void in the zone and attack it. As a RB, he IDs and choses the correct hole, gashing the defense for a big gain. Doss has a good release vs off and press. Against off, he accelerates faster. Against press, he uses a good 1,2-shake movement to get open. He has good separation quickness due to his athletic ability. He outruns defenders consistently becoming wide open for a big gain. Doss is a good catcher too. He plucks the ball out of the air. Doss is a very slippery ball carrier, and defenders slide off him. I am very excited to see how Doss performs in his senior year, as he keeps turning heads.

He uses his athletic ability to outrun the DB creating more room. Very good ball tracking skills in his arsenal. Multiple 1-handed catches where he had to turn around to catch it. He’s a very good catcher, and uses his lengthy arms to pluck the ball out of the air. He has good body control and adjusts either above or below to get the ball. After the catch, he uses his physicality to run through people, and it takes multiple defenders to bring him down, due to size and speed. Smart excels with the comeback route a lot. He’s a great player, who I am very excited to see what he puts together in his senior year. Definitely deserves more eyes on him.
