WR Stock-Risers

These nine elite receivers have put in the work all offseason — and it shows. Some burst onto the scene with breakout performances in the playoffs, while others have displayed steady growth and development year after year. No matter the path, one thing is certain: each of these athletes is destined to play at the next level. But before that journey begins, let's take a moment to give them their flowers as they gear up for one final high school campaign.    [player_tooltip player_id='1050623' first='Cam' last='Fowler'] has always stood out as an elite athlete. I remember watching him as a freshman, making impact plays on both sides of the ball and contributing heavily on the basketball court. Now entering his senior year, Fowler has evolved into a dynamic playmaker — a legitimate threat to score from anywhere on the field.     [player_tooltip player_id='1600209' first='Raishawn' last='Elmore'] had a breakout season for Porter Ridge last year, finishing with an impressive 16 total touchdowns. A big-time red zone threat, Elmore combines physicality with enough speed to turn short catches into big gains — even taking a kickoff back for a touchdown. He consistently makes contested catches look routine, showcasing the kind of body control and hands that separate elite receivers from the rest.     [player_tooltip player_id='1654186' first='Brody' last='Hunt'] is as solid as they come. With some of the best hands in the state and above-average speed (4.5), Hunt is a reliable playmaker with even more upside at the next level. Last season, he hauled in 10 touchdowns and racked up over 700 receiving yards for South Iredell. A two-sport athlete who also shines on the baseball field and lines up at defensive back, Hunt's biggest impact this senior season will undoubtedly come at receiver. Don't be surprised if he hits double-digit touchdowns once again.     Don't let the numbers fool you—Tracy Harrington is a tremendous athlete with elite ability. Previously in a run-heavy system, Harrington still found the end zone 6 times on fewer than 60 catches. Now at a more balanced Middle Creek program, expect his production to catch up to his talent. Big year loading. 📈🔥     One of the most reliable targets in the state—[player_tooltip player_id='1663787' first='Brayden' last='Karras'] is a phenomenal underneath route runner with sure hands and a natural feel for finding the ball. He racked up 78 catches, over 1,000 yards, and 10 touchdowns last season. Expect him to be one of the most productive returning receivers in the Raleigh area. 🎯📊     [player_tooltip player_id='1299433' first='Donte' last='Nicholson'] was the guy on the outside for West Charlotte last season. A dependable playmaker all year, he cemented his legacy by scoring the game-clinching touchdown in the state championship. Big-time players make big-time plays     [player_tooltip player_id='1321100' first='Rakim' last='Finch'] has been unguardable all offseason. The physical, fast WR has drawn comparisons to AJ Brown with his playstyle—strong hands, explosive routes, and big-play ability. He's made highlight after highlight during 7v7s and looks primed for a breakout senior season with the defending state champs.     [player_tooltip player_id='1368098' first='Tyreek' last='Copper'] finished last season as one of the hottest prospects in North Carolina—77 catches, 1,300+ yards, and 16 touchdowns. The NC State commit has proven he's one of the top overall players in the state, regardless of position. Expect an even bigger senior year from the Kinston star.      A true deep ball merchant—[player_tooltip player_id='1671881' first='Vincent' last='Rosen'] made the most of every opportunity last season, scoring 5 touchdowns on just 20 catches. The talent is undeniable, and with more volume coming his way, don't be surprised if his numbers double this year. Big-play threat every time he lines up
