Grand Island Northwest receiver James Buhrman James Buhrman 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Northwest | 2027 State NE makes the move from the watchlist to the rankings in the latest update. James had a productive junior season in which he ended as the team’s second leading receiver, hauling in 22 receptions, 243 receiving yards, and four touchdowns. I was very impressed with James’ route-running ability as he showed he can attack all levels of the field and can create separation at the top of the route. He utilizes good footwork, which helps him get a clean release at the LOS, and carries that through the entirety of the route. James also has very good hands that seemed to catch everything coming his way from passes outside his frame, catches in traffic, catches while bracing for contact, and even some that required top-tier body control to adjust to the pass. Good twitch and elusiveness after the catch with a solid burst that can lead to big gains. At 6’0″ and 180 pounds, James can match up well across the board and hold his own against physical DBs trying to press him. James is still holding out for his first offer, but that will likely change soon.
