Expert Analysis
Josh White | Prep Redzone Scout
Yelder is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the state. His ability to change game in a single snap makes him a chess piece that defenses have to account for at all times. As a receiver this home-run speed creates instant separation off the line and inevitable space on vertical concepts. When the ball is in the air Yelder plays way bigger than his listed size. His consistency at winning 50/50 balls is worth noting. With elite timing, body control, and vertical explosion he Yelder simply won’t be denied in contested situations.
After the catch his transition to a runner is instant. His running back like instinct paired with elite elusiveness and natural feel jump off the film. These skills in space also make him one of the state’s premier return specialists as well. Yelder’s versatility as an all-purpose specialist gives his offense tremendous optionality and makes him a premier weapon who you should know going into the fall

Jacory Yelder Jacory Yelder 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Leroy | 2027 State AL is a star in the making in the 1A. What he did for Leroy’s passing attack this season was nothing short of impressive.
“At 5’11 160, Yelder plays with a ton of speed and quickness outside. He’s a talented route runner who consistently gains separation and makes huge plays after the catch. I’m really impressed with how Yelder can shift and change his direction in the open field. He’s an electric playmaker outside.
Yelder also brings a ton of value to special teams as a returner. He’s terrific at finding lanes and using his speed to get upfield and put the ball in great starting field position. Whenever Yelder has the ball in his hands, you can expect good things to happen.”
Yelder was unstoppable this year, racking up 37 receptions for 817 yards and 9 TDs on the season.
