2025 Parkersburg South WR Devon Forshey Devon Forshey 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Parkersburg South | 2025 State WV was a bright spot for the Patriots in their monumental task of going up against defending state champion Martinsburg on the road in the quarterfinals. The senior receiver brought in 10 passes for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns in defeat but showed he belong among the state’s best.
Forshey capped his high school career with 59 catches for 753 yards and 5 touchdowns during his senior year and was a reliable target all season. He worked a lot from the slot in this game but has primarily been a wideout during his career and has the versatility to do both. Forshey has reliable hands and displayed crisp route running against Martinsburg and the ability to make defenders miss and pick up extra yards after the catch. He’s earned himself some D2 opportunities in our opinion and is worth a close look by those programs.

2025 Parkersburg South WR Devon Forshey Devon Forshey 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Parkersburg South | 2025 State WV is beginning to heat up as the season goes on and as the passing offense improves under a new quarterback this season. He’s improved his average yards per catch in each of the first three games and is resorting back to being a big play threat that he showed as a junior.
Forshey is proving to be a good contested catch receiver this season and providing more evidence that he can high-point the pass and come down with 50/50 balls consistently. He’s still dangerous in the open field and after the catch as well and is developing his short and intermediate routes.

It’s likely that Parkersburg South WR Devon Forshey Devon Forshey 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Parkersburg South | 2025 State WV will be one of our stock risers in the final 2025 rankings update when they come out after the 2024 season, and he’s poised for a breakout senior season. Forshey had a very respectable junior campaign leading the Patriots in receiving yards catching 29 passes for 556 yards and 5 touchdowns on a 19-yards-per-catch average. I’m fully confident that he can take the next step in his development and build on that performance for his senior year. Parkersburg South is known for having a prolific passing attack under Head Coach Nathan Tanner and that should continue heading into the 2024 season, and Forshey should be their go-to guy after some graduation losses. He’ll debut as a Top 20 WR in the 2025 class, but a strong senior season could allow him to make a big jump in future updates.
