A sleeper wideout from Lawrenceville, Georgia who led his Collins Hill team in receiving last year, Tuff is a smaller receiver who can stretch the field and make a tough catch in the air. The quick, agile pass-catcher is coming off a respectable junior season last fall where he caught 30 passes for 453 yards and three touchdowns. This Gwinnett County receiver could push for All-Region honors as a senior this fall if he continues to improve and play at a high level heading into his big final season in 2026. He’s currently ranked as the No. 57 WR prospect in Georgia for his class.

Tuff has been a slower, but steady rise onto the recruiting scene, and he finally saw that rise give way to FBS recruiting attention this offseason. He has emerged as a reliable, productive target for Collins Hill, and there’s a chance his senior year is the most productive year of them all. He is a smaller receiver who plays bigger, impressing with his body control and hands outside of his frame. You know exactly what you are getting in Tuff, and that’s a good thing in this case.

Tuff’s steady rise over the last few years finally broke through this offseason, adding several D1 offers to his name in the winter. He will look to put the cherry on top as a senior. Stout player who plays bigger than listed. He tracks and catches the ball better through traffic than most receivers at his size. Explosive, downhill player after the catch who stays vertical. Tuff is a high-floor, multi-level playmaker who is a reliable target.

Tuff has received a major boost in the recruiting scene, as he has started to gain some attention from many colleges and has even been offered by multiple teams. Some of the offers he picked up in the offseason include the Troy Trojans, Eastern Michigan Eagles, and the Colorado State Rams. Tuff will likely receive many more this offseason, which is a huge deal for the prospect, as he is becoming a solidified receiver under the leadership of the Collins Hill coaching staff.

Tuff is tough. Multiple times in the game, he had the opportunity to run out of bounds, but he fought for more yards. Not the biggest athlete by any means, but his route running is one of the better route-running traits I’ve seen this season. The fact he has another year has me very optimistic about his future.

A dominant wide receiver, to say the least. He is someone who will only get better, but has been a star for Collins Hill. He is someone who can play both outside and in the slot. He has been able to show off his ability to track a football, which is one of my favorite traits about him.
