West Lyon’s Jaxton DeJong Jaxton DeJong 6'5" | 185 lbs | WR/LB West Lyon | 2028 State IA is an interesting prospect with offensive versatility that should draw in creative offensive coordinators. Jaxton ended his sophomore campaign with 288 rushing yards, 102 receiving yards, seven rushing touchdowns, and two receiving touchdowns. Jaxton projects best as an outside/x-receiver who can use his lengthy 6’5″ and 185-pound frame to win matchups on the perimeter and be your go-to jump ball receiver. Jaxton does a great job elevating over defenders to catch the ball at its high point. Considering he’s a bigger receiver, DeJong’s route running is also an underrated aspect of his game, as he’s shown he can create some separation. Very useful redzone target. The Wildcats made sure to add DeJong as an extension of the run game with his effectiveness on sweeps and other rushing attempts. He is good with space in front of him, showing he can pick up yardage after the catch or as a runner.
