DJ Vinson DJ Vinson 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR Montgomery | 2025 State AL picked up several summer offers from FBS programs but remains a slightly overlooked receiver. Vinson averaged a double-double in basketball last year with 11 PPG and 13 RPG, he also competed in the state championships last year in the high jump, setting the stage for an impressive multi-sport background. He plays the way you would imagine, winning the vertical battle against defenders and seeing the ball into his hands through traffic. He plays at a lower classification against much smaller corners, but the leaping ability and sheer size are something you expect to translate. He is still searching for that top-end gear, he lumbers a bit in the open field and could add some more speed with refined running form. Still, he has enough bounce horizontally to escape chaos and create a few extra yards after the catch. Vinson would offer a developmental, rare body type for some D1 programs looking to improve the aesthetic and upside of their WR room.

DJ Vinson DJ Vinson 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR Montgomery | 2025 State AL is a big, physical WR prospect that has picked up some D1 offers this offseason. He is a natural mismatch at 6’4 190. He has broad shoulders and is muscled-up, yet still has room to fill out. There aren’t a whole lot of diverse routes on his tape. Most clips are him slow playing DBs off the line and looking up to find the football. From there, he is capable of boxing out WRs and making very physical catches above the rim, and often falls back on his feet like a cat. After the catch, Vinson has gamebreaker potential. Right now, he is still developing breakaway speed and is a bit clunky as a mover. However, he has the change of direction to redirect his massive frame across the face of DBs. He is also a pain to bring down, showcasing good contact balance and utilizing stiff arms to wash out would-be tacklers. Vinson will need to add more burst and explosiveness in order to create consistent separation. However, he is a physical wideout that is not afraid to use his traits, and he takes pride in making plays after the catch. 2-3 years of seasoning, and he could be a D1 difference maker.

Montgomery Academy has a ton of young talented players right now- when it comes to their passing attack, freshman QB Landon Duckworth and 2025 WR DJ Vinson have paired up and dominated the state, especially last fall. Vinson is a really tough WR to guard. He has a great blend of size and speed, has very reliable hands, and can highpoint the ball/make tons of different contested catches as well as just fly downfield. Last fall we saw this on full display- Vinson was super productive, he made plays all over the field and totaled up 34 receptions for 738 yards and 5 touchdowns on the season. Vinson recently has picked up offers from Arkansas, Alabama State, and others- as he heads into a big junior season keep a lookout for Montgomery Academy! They’re both set for big years.
