To wrap up our top five receivers in the class of 2028 in the state of Kentucky, I have Chi Poynter Chi Poynter 6'4" | 195 lbs | WR Bardstown | 2028 State KY . Chi has had an impressive junior year so far, catching 29 passes for 549 yards and three touchdowns in five games, which leads his team, and puts him at 2nd in 3A and 3rd in the entire state in receiving. Poynter is a long, athletic receiver who uses his high catch radius and strong hands to his advantage to come away with catches in traffic with ease. He has also shown the speed to pick up extra yards after the catch. Chi has also scored two rushing touchdowns this season and has come away with three interceptions on defense, returning one of them for a touchdown. Poynter currently holds offers from Cincinnati, Eastern Kentucky, and West Georgia, and I expect offers to continue piling up for him over the next two seasons.

Chi Poynter Chi Poynter 6'4" | 195 lbs | WR Bardstown | 2028 State KY will be looking to build off an impressive sophomore season in which he led Bardstown in receiving with 55 catches for 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns in 11 games. Poynter is a long, athletic receiver who uses his high catch radius to attack passes at their highest point away from his body. He combines that with very impressive hands to bring in contested catches with ease. Chi has also shown the ability to use his speed to get up the field in a hurry after the catch to pick up extra yards. Poynter also scored two rushing touchdowns last season. Chi currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky and West Georgia, and I expect more to come his way over the next two seasons.

I thought it was a really impressive day 2 for Poynter, who also flashed on day 1. If I had to bet on any skill player at this tournament blossoming into a P4 prospect, it would be this kid. He is all of 6’3 190, built far beyond his years with a strong frame. He is a basketball athlete, and a good one at that, evidenced by his ability to win above the rim. He is a natural mismatch, but he showed some physicality to fight for positioning when the ball was in the air, making him an even tougher guard. Really impressive prospect from a traits perspective.

Chi was a dominant presence for Playmakers Elite. His size and athleticism are unmatched by anyone else I’ve seen this weekend in 15U. His catch radius is huge. His vertical get-off is impressive, and he has surprising YAC ability for his size. I see why PRZ Kentucky has him listed in their top 25 in the 2028 class.

Poynter is a long, tall athlete with a good build that he is starting to fill out. He’s got long strides and chews up the cushions DBs give him on the line. He shows good twitch as a route runner, with the ability to sink and redirect cleanly at the top of routes. His change of direction is fluid, and he consistently tracks and adjusts to the football at a high level. His ball skills were some of the best of the entire camp, and he gives his QB a massive target. He’s a redzone threat and was one of the options that Riley could force-feed. The stop-and-start ability he has really separates him from the pack. He’s young and incredibly talented.

Chi Poynter Chi Poynter 6'4" | 195 lbs | WR Bardstown | 2028 State KY is another receiver who burst onto the scene as a sophomore. Poynter finished this past season as Bardstown’s leading receiver, catching 55 passes for 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns in 11 games. Chi is a very reliable jump ball threat as he has the athleticism to out jump opposing defensive backs along with the strong hands to bring in catches through contact. He is also dangerous after the catch, using his speed and elusiveness to turn short passes into big plays. Chi also scored two rushing touchdowns as a sophomore. Poynter holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky and I fully expect more to come his way heading into his junior year.
