A do-it-all player for Benedictine who was one of the more versatile players in Savannah, Mallard was an easy addition to the latest rankings after his gigantic junior season. The electric ball-carrier/pass-catcher stands at 5-foot-10 180-pounds and lit up the stat sheet for the Cadets in 2025. The playmaking wide receiver caught 32 passes last fall for 655 yards and 9 touchdowns. He also carried the ball 41 times for just under 400 yards and four more scores while also making play after play in the return game. He’s a big-play wideout who will make a major jump in the latest rankings update.

The offers have started to roll in here, but I have been on record as a big fan of Mallard dating back to the fall. He is a gadgety player with a high floor and a skillset that finds the field quickly at the next level. He is productive as a receiver, both down the field and in the quick game, while also acting as a threat in the run game. Just an all-around productive, reliable playmaker with elite T/F metrics, sprinting well under 11 seconds in the 100M, and consistently doing so. Even with the handful of offers, I still think this kid is underrecruited and has the tools to develop into a contributor at the FBS level.
