Nellis has been a major threat for this Eden/North Collins squad this season. The WR, found himself ranked 323rd in the state, and that is way too low given his season. Nellis led the state in receiving touchdowns with 21 this season, and having him back next year is huge for this offense.
Nellis has an undersized frame, sitting at 5’9″ 145-Pounds. I want to see him reach at least the 160 mark to fill out his frame. He is a guy who can play in both the slot, and become an outside guy. I like his footwork, and he is displays an outstanding first step, and can create separation with ease. He works best down field, and I like his speed, which allows him to run past defenders.

, and has made several appearances on the stat sheet stuffer list this season.
The Season is sadly over for Nellis, and despite a heartbreaking end to the season, the Junior WR, went off this season, and will receive a healthy bump in his ranking. Nellis hauled in 50 passes for 1,107 yards this season. He added a state leading 21 touchdowns through the air, and was an elite threat on the field. I like Nellis a lot, and I am really intrigued to see his Senior Season.

With Brady having five touchdowns through the air, it is expect that one of his WR’s would be on this list. Nellis has had an exceptional junior season, and has become one of the top pass catchers in the whole state.
In the playoff win, the Junior WR hauled in nine catches for 145 yards. He averaged 16.1 yards per catch, and had three touchdowns in the receiving category in what was an impressive game.

A first year varsity player, Nellis had a big breakout season as he led Eden’s newfound aerial attack in all receiving categories (60 rec. 953 yards and 11 TDs). He is a prototypical slot receiver with quick feet and sound route running abilities. He has a high motor and goes and gets the ball at its highest point.

An unknown player entering 2024, Nellis was a major breakout athlete for Eden as he emerged as the Raiders top target with 60 catches and over 900 yards and 11 TDs. He has excellent concentration at the outside receiver spot and the ability to break tackles with his run after catch.
