is one of those wide outs who you know you can rely on in big situations where it’s needed to be made especially by a wide out. He has good size, route running ability and obviously sure hands. He is going to have a massive season in the fall of 2026 and will have a career clearly at the next level, he is the real deal out of this 2027 class!

One of the top wide receivers in Georgia regardless of class, Upshaw made a big jump in the latest rankings update, coming in as the No. 1 WR and the No. 6 overall prospect in the state for the 2027 class. He brings good size, excellent ball skills, toughness, and natural big-play ability. He’s one of the top playmakers across South Georgia and caught an impressive 63 passes last year for 842 yards and 11 touchdowns. He’s a scoring machine who should light up the state sheet as a junior in 2025. Don’t be surprised if he ends up as one of the top receivers across the country sooner than later.

A sleeper wide receiver in South Georgia on the rise after a massive sophomore season, Upshaw hauled in an impressive 63 passes last season for 842 yards and 11 touchdowns. He brings good size at 6-foot-2 185-pounds and is a big target down the field. He’s a long-strider who can pick up yards in a hurry when he gets rolling. He’s tough to bring down after the catch and shows natural hands when reeling in tough grabs in coverage. He’s a receiver who could see his recruitment start to really pick up this spring and it’s easy to see why when you turn on the film. He’s ranked as the No. 25 WR and the No. 160 prospect in the state, but that ranking will likely rise more and more over time.

Read EvaluationLawrence Morgan | Prep Redzone Scout
The 6’2 190 WR showed why he is one of the top prospects at that position in the 2027 Class. He was able to use his speed and get behind the defense on two long TD catches. Upshaw finished the half with 5 catches for 149 yards with 2 TDs.
Outlook:
With 63 catches for 842 yards, Upshaw led Nationally ranked Lee County in both categories as a sophomore. Tall and lean with great hands and speed, he has already garnered P4 interest with 6 programs extending offers. Stock Riser.

Another outstanding South Georgia wide receiver to keep a close eye on, Upshaw brings a lean frame with impressive length to go along with his impressive vertical leap and strong ball skills. He’s a vertical weapon down the field who creates separation from opposing defensive backs and tracks the ball well in the air. He’s a promising wideout who can make an impact both down the field and in the short passing and screen game. His best football is way ahead of him and he’s mid-way through a breakout season. He’s caught 29 passes this season for 418 yards and five touchdowns.

. Up to a 6-foot-1 and 175-pounds, he’s a bigger, more physical wide receiver that I’m super high on. His production didn’t jump off the page from this year’s Future Stars Game event, but after watching him play the last two years at this event–I wouldn’t lose a second of sleep over it. Very capable of winning contested passes against smaller cornerback’s because he simply out-muscles them to come down with it. Was clocked at 5.0 in the forty during tryouts, so there is room to improve his straight line speed. If he can get down into the verified 4.5-4.7 range, he looks like a no-brainer P5 prospect.

! Being a Georgia Future Star is just icing on the cake for this head topping machine. Jaden has displayed some of the best body control I’ve seen at his age. The harder the catch, the more comfortable he is in making it look like a routine catch. Even though he already stands at 6’1, he’s not just bullying the shorter DB’s, “anybody can get it.” The confidence Jaden plays with will be fun to watch with someone like

as the other bookend. This top prospect is fearless when it comes to catching balls inside as well. Typically, a player with this size and speed just wants to catch the deep ball, not Jaden, he takes pride in gaining his signal callers trust by trying to master the whole route tree.

lived up to the expectations after making the Georgia Future Stars, a year ago. The 6-foot-1 Wide Receiver showed off some elite ball skills. He showed the strength to get off press coverage and the ability to high point the ball, making him a dominant force on 50/50 balls.

Read EvaluationAlex Boyer | Prep Redzone Scout
Jaden is another big, rangy receiver coming out of the highly competitive and prospect-heavy state of Georgia. Already 6-foot-1 and growing, with his size and speed, Jaden has the capability to fly past defensive backs and run free down the field. With that, Jaden can also stretch the field horizontally with quick slant routes. No matter where Jaden is on the field, he is not afraid to catch the ball and keep running as he makes his way to the end zone. Just from watching some of his highlights, it is clear that he is a nightmare for any defensive back he faces. Jaden has been gifted early on with his size and talent, and I am excited to see where he goes from here.
