Matthew Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
2029 Independence WR KJ Viars put together one of the most productive freshman seasons of any player in the state and quickly established himself as a name to know in the class. Viars surpassed 1,000 receiving yards and scored seven touchdowns, impressive numbers for a player early in his high school career. He brings a long 6’1 frame and good early athleticism that give him significant upside as he continues to mature physically. The production is already there, but there is still plenty of room for growth in his game. Continued development as a route runner and adding more strength to his frame should help unlock even more of his potential. With his combination of size, athleticism, and early success, Viars has all the ingredients to remain one of the top prospects in the 2029 class.

is someone we’ve heard good things about at the middle school level, but he proved in game one that he can produce at the high school level right away. Viars had a big impact on the Patriots, securing a huge week one victory over highly-ranked AAA Herbert Hoover with 5 catches for 101 yards and an acrobatic back of the end zone touchdown early in the game to set the tone. The 2029 WR is someone colleges will want to know about for the next four years.
