A lightning quick receiver, Stalin Knowlden Stalin Knowlden 5'7" | 145 lbs | ATH St. Joseph Regional | 2027 State NJ is in line to become one of the next great receiver’s coming out of St. Josephs. Not only is Stalin an absolute burner, but his receiving skills are some of the best in the class. He has elite catch radius and can change directions and accelerate to create distance from the defender.
With the ball in Stalin’s hands, you know some magic is about to happen. He is shifty with his hips, and his visions allows him to carve through defenses as he heads towards the end zone. Stalin is the Watchlist athlete I anticipate to rise the quickest into the rankings.
