<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These receivers always make the game's biggest plays. They can run any route and don't drop passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406937' first='Charlie' last='Holbrook'] || WR || 6'2 || 180 || West High School || 2023</strong><br>Holbrook is a yards after the catch monster. The 6'2 receiver is shifty in the open field and has the strength to break through arm tackles. He tracks the ball incredibly well and can bend his body to make acrobatic grabs at every field level. Holbrook can take the top off the defense and displays good speed after the catch. His large catch radius and ability to high-point passes makes him a friendly target. In addition, he can run complex routes that put defenses in a bind. Holbrook was a touchdown machine for the Panthers and will only continue to find his way into the endzone at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489783' first='Kyle' last='Valdez'] || WR || 6'2 || 170 || Skyridge High School || 2023 </strong><br>Valdez is a burner who can flip the field at any moment. His releases are textbook and help him gain an advantage against defensive backs right off the snap. In addition, Valdez tracks the ball as well as any receiver in the state. The 6'2 wideout does a good job coming back to underthrown passes and holds onto contested catches. He's especially dangerous in the red zone, where he can cross up a defensive back and then moss them for a touchdown. Valdez can beat any coverage and break a few tackles as he crosses the pylon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='479437' first='CJ' last='Fairbourne'] || WR || 5'11 || 165 || Maple Mountain High School || 2023 </strong><br>Fairbourne is a playmaker on the outside. He can win outside the numbers or in the screen game. Fairbourn is an elite route runner who tricks the defenses into thinking he's going one way before changing direction. He does a good job working back to his quarterback on broken plays and never stops running before the whistle. Fairbourn is fearless over the middle and more than willing to throw big blocks in the run game. His speed makes him tough to keep in check for 48 minutes and will translate instantly at the collegiate level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='532630' first='Dylan' last='Croxford'] || WR || 5'10 || 170 || Syracuse High School || 2023 </strong><br>Croxford is an exceptional athlete who creates separation with ease. He comes in and out of his breaks like a college veteran. The 5'10 wideout impresses with good speed and footwork. Croxford can take a simple slat 60 yards on any given play with his elite acceleration. His body control is exceptional, enabling him to make miraculous sideline grabs. Croxford does a great job adjusting to balls in the air and will put his body on the line for his team. He's a physical receiver who terrorized defensive backs all over the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

These receivers always make the game's biggest plays. They can run any route and don't drop passes.
