is an explosive wide receiver who has become one of the top WR prospects in the nation during his time at Central, and rightfully so. Upshaw is a big, physical wide receiver with a ton of speed, acceleration, and a super reliable set of hands. Upshaw is a dynamic deep threat who frequently burns defensive backs at the line of scrimmage with his release to make huge plays downfield. Once the ball is in his hands, Upshaw presents a big problem for defenses- after the catch, Upshaw is a monster that cannot be stopped, he plays with a lot of physicality and is rarely ever easily brought down by defenders. Last fall was an especially year for Upshaw, he had his best season yet and was a constant headache for opposing secondaries. Upshaw recorded 59 receptions for 1185 yards and 15 touchdowns throughout his junior season, consistently making huge plays every time he took the field. Since he’s developed into one of the top WRs in the state and country, Upshaw has picked up a lot of top-tier offers since his freshman season. Just this week, Upshaw decided to take his talents to South Beach and committed to Miami, giving them a terrific offensive addition to their 2025 class!

, a standout wide receiver for Central High School, delivered a jaw-dropping performance in their recent game against Enterprise. Upshaw is a top tier WR in the 2025 class and has started off this season very strong- last week Upshaw showcased his skills with four catches for an impressive 159 yards and two touchdowns as well. His ability to find the end zone repeatedly made him the focal point of Central’s offense last Friday- and rightfully so as he is a true game-changer on the field. Upshaw acted as a great deep threat for his team and was able to make some massive plays downfield – it was near impossible for Enterprise’s defense to contain his explosive playmaking abilities. Upshaw committed to Auburn earlier this year and has a heck of a season lined up for him this fall- keep track of him!
