At this rate, it sure looks like 3A just manufactures wide receivers with impressive ball-skills. Zeke Symonds Zeke Symonds 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Independence | 2026 State IA routinely showed his ability to go up and get a pass, but also track a ball and bring it down despite tight coverage and unideal ball-placement. Getting open, he can beat man-coverage off the line and find the holes in opposing defenses to make easier catches.

Not even the number one receiver for his team last year despite 27 catches for 590 yards (21.9 yards per catch) and ten touchdowns for Independence, will be far-and-away the top option in the Mustangs’ offense this fall.

It’s only seconds into Symonds’ junior highlight video that we see him collecting a contested catch. Continue watching it and you’ll witness acrobatic receptions throughout. It’s a skill that can’t be taught and works on both sides of the ball. Keeping him at wideout makes a lot of sense, though. Symonds runs crisp routes, looks to have good speed and tracks the ball well in the air. Despite defenses knowing the ball was coming his way, he hauled in 27 balls for 590 yards and 10 touchdowns. Symonds also intercepted a pass and can help colleges on special teams.
