Sioux City East will undergo a change in QB in 2026, though their passing game should remain stabilized with the development of their top receiver to lead the group in Isaiah Grant Isaiah Grant 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Sioux City East | 2028 State IA . Grant broke out in 2025 with 734 yards on 47 catches (15.6 YPC) and 8 TDs. A strong athlete who boasts a 275 lb max bench and a 375 lb max squat, Grant is a prototypical No. 1 WR who can play both outside and in the slot, excelling in 1-on-1 coverage, and he is just electrifying to watch on the field overall. His acceleration and agility after the catch are evident on tape, making him flexible as a deep vertical threat and as a short option who can rack up huge yards after the catch, while also showing great hands and being able to catch through traffic. Grant’s sophomore season has already garnered the attention of D1 scouts, earning offers from Kansas and Wisconsin already, and he’s bound to generate a lot more over the next 2 seasons.

Huge upside prospect in the Black Raiders offense. Sophomore Isaiah Grant Isaiah Grant 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Sioux City East | 2028 State IA is a player who may not have received a ton of varsity time, but is primed to take over a big role with a lot of last year’s receiving production having graduated. Watching Isaiah’s tape, I was surprised by his route running as a bigger receiver (6’2″, 185 pounds), showing he can smoothly maneuver through defenders as he looks for the soft spots in coverage. He is also very smart with his use of double moves and stemming his routes to force DBs to make a mistake, which he can take advantage of. Good burst coming off the line and after the catch. Grant is only starting to scratch the surface!
