<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's analyze the Fall season performances of the top pass catchers from the 2025 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 6'3 190 WR - [player_tooltip player_id='277915' first='Emmanuel' last='Dyson'] - DeMatha</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='277915' first='Emmanuel' last='Dyson'] is a top five ranked pass catcher for his class in Maryland, and he recently accepted an invitation to the 2023 Rivals Camp Series in New Jersey. Dyson possesses unbelievable speed, agility, and quickness, and he's only going to grow and develop from here. There's a reason that he already has offers from UMD, UNCC, and USF, and it's because Dyson is one of the elite young receivers in the state. Emanuel Dyson is in a great position to have a breakout season for DeMatha this Fall, and my prediction is that he earns All-WCAC honors in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://twitter.com/15hundooo/status/1619793659238715392?s=20">https://twitter.com/15hundooo/status/1619793659238715392?s=20</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 5'10 155 WR - [player_tooltip player_id='372595' first='Elijah' last='Pedro'] - Good Counsel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='372595' first='Elijah' last='Pedro'] already has a handful of D1 offers from programs such as App State, Temple, Liberty, and UNCC, which should be enough tell you that he's a top wide receiver prospect in the WCAC. He's one of the best pure route runners in the conference, and he also thrives in track and field during the offseason. [player_tooltip player_id='372595' first='Elijah' last='Pedro'] and the Good Counsel Falcons have a very strong chance of making the title game in 2023, and I believe it will be Pedro and the offense that separates them from the pack. With [player_tooltip player_id='172212' first='Elijah' last='Moore'] and [player_tooltip player_id='372595' first='Elijah' last='Pedro'] lining up at receiver, the Good Counsel Flacons will score a lot of points and win a lot of games this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/rIFM0TRqph">https://t.co/rIFM0TRqph</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 6'5 200 WR - [player_tooltip player_id='372555' first='Kenedy' last='Uzoma'] - High Point</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a Sophomore, Kennedy Uzoma proved himself as a go-to guy on offense, and he averaged nearly twenty yards per reception last season. He hauled-in nearly 400 yards overall, and he also caught 4 touchdown passes on the way. Standing at 6'5, Uzoma has an extremely high ceiling. He's most definitely a top prospect in the 2025 class, and, if he expands on his 2022 performance, he has a strong chance of making the All-County 1st Team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/md/beltsville/high-point-eagles/athletes/kennedy-uzoma/media/videos/?careerid=41839s85ogque">https://www.maxpreps.com/md/beltsville/high-point-eagles/athletes/kennedy-uzoma/media/videos/?careerid=41839s85ogque</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 6'3 195 WR - [player_tooltip player_id='506721' first='Vernon' last='Allen III'] - Baltimore City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='506721' first='Vernon' last='Allen III'] is an all-around playmaker, and he thrived while playing on both sides of the football last season. The elite free safety and wide receiver prospect has already hauled-in a bunch of offers from elite programs like UNC, Duke, Virginia Tech, UMD, Syracuse, and more. Allen III led Baltimore City to a 6-3 overall record in the Fall, and scouts everywhere must know his name because he's one of the top prospects in the Baltimore area. [player_tooltip player_id='506721' first='Vernon' last='Allen III'] is a next level game changer with immense talent, and I think he will have his best season yet in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/hRQTNE3pzg">https://t.co/hRQTNE3pzg</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 5'9 170 WR - [player_tooltip player_id='277914' first='De'Rae' last='Edwards'] - St. Frances Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='277914' first='De'Rae' last='Edwards'] recently switched schools, from one DMV powerhouse to another, when he transferred from DeMatha to St. Frances Academy. Edwards showed a ton of promise with the Stags and he even received an offer from UNCC already, however, he will step into a much bigger pass catching role with the Panthers in the Fall. [player_tooltip player_id='277914' first='De'Rae' last='Edwards'] is a very dynamic young receiver, and, combined with [player_tooltip player_id='172210' first='Michael' last='Van Buren'], he's going to make a very positive impact on the SFA offense. [player_tooltip player_id='277914' first='De'Rae' last='Edwards'] is about to see a huge spike in productivity and efficiency with the SFA Panthers in 2023, and I truly believe that he can finish next season as one of their top pass catchers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/s87cQFQmSX">https://t.co/s87cQFQmSX</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Let's analyze the Fall season performances of the top pass catchers from the 2025 class.
