Top Wide Receivers
Class of 2026 -- ranked by measurables, physical ceiling, and recruiting validation
Texas signee is the clear No. 1 — 6'2" 190 with 70 catches, 1,557 yards, 22.2 YPR, 16 receiving TDs, and 6 INTs on defense at 5A. Elite two-way versatility, big-play speed (86-yard long), and the best offer sheet in the state validate him as a Power 4 talent.
Already off the board -- signed with Texas. The measuring stick for what elite Colorado DB production looks like in a college-relevant frame. 6'2", runs 4.5, plays both ways at 5A, had a 7th pick wiped by penalty. 1,557 receiving yards and 39 TDs on offense, 6 INTs on defense. His coach referenced the dictionary definition of Superman.
West Virginia signee checks every box for a projectable boundary WR — 6'3" 190 with reported 4.49 speed and 1,013 yards at 18.1 YPR in his only Colorado 5A season. Offers from Colorado, Oregon State, and WVU confirm the tools; the 236-yard playoff game against Fairview showed he can produce against top competition.
Landon Drumm is a long, athletic outside receiver with a projectable 6-3, 190-pound frame and self-reported 4.49 speed who produced elite numbers in his one season of Colorado 5A football (56 rec, 1,013 yards, 9 TDs). His size-speed combination and big-play ability (18.1 YPR) give him a clear physical ceiling as a Big 12 boundary receiver, though the lack of verified testing data and limited exposure against top-tier competition add some projection risk. He profiles as a developmental signee with early-to-mid career contributor upside at West Virginia.
Father played football at the University of Colorado (Big 12). His high school coach at Arapahoe, Tyler Brayton, was a teammate of his father at Colorado.
Kansas State signee with verified 10.59 100m speed, a 20'8" long jump, and three years of 5A production at Cherry Creek — the highest-competition program in the state. 45 catches for 866 yards and 19.2 YPR as a senior with offers from K-State, Boston College, WVU, and Oregon State confirm his deep-threat ceiling.
6'2" with verified 10.7 100m speed and a breakout 53-catch, 1,116-yard, 12-TD senior season at 5A Ralston Valley — the size-speed-production combination is real. All-State First Team and two-way ability (3 INTs at CB) suggest a high floor; needs more weight and camp exposure to push beyond his lone UNC offer.
Ethan Shirazi is a long, athletic two-way player who had a breakout senior season as a wide receiver with elite production (53 rec, 1,116 yds, 12 TDs, 21.1 YPR) after transitioning from a primarily RB/DB role. His 6'2" frame, verified 10.7 100m speed, ball skills on both sides of the ball, and All-State First Team selection make him a legitimate FCS recruit with potential to develop into a low-level FBS player if he can add significant weight. The lack of camp/combine testing data and the single-year offensive breakout are the primary reasons his recruiting market is thin, but the production and athletic tools warrant further evaluation.
Has a brother, Evan Shirazi, who plays WR/holder at Ralston Valley High School on the same team. Evan caught a TD pass in the Erie game and served as holder on the game-winning FG in the state semifinal.
6'3" 175 with 69 catches for 1,264 yards and 16 TDs at 18.3 YPR — the frame and volume production are eye-popping, and multi-sport athleticism (basketball PG, track) confirms coordination. Zero offers is baffling given his measurables and production; he's a camp circuit away from blowing up if speed tests verify what the film suggests.
Colorado State signee with verified track speed (10.6 100m), 54 catches for 1,190 yards and 16 TDs at 22.0 YPR with 70-yard deep balls at 5A Vista PEAK. The speed is legitimate and the production is elite; concerns about team strength and a lean 180-lb frame are offset by Army and Air Force also offering.
A 6'6" 205-lb athlete with 893 receiving yards, 13 TDs at 24.8 YPR, AND 78 tackles and 5 sacks on defense is a physical unicorn — the Air Force basketball commitment (2,000+ career points, 4A POY) confirms elite athleticism and body control. If he ever focuses on football, this frame with those ball skills projects as a mismatch TE/big WR; the lack of football-specific speed data and 2A competition are the only reasons he isn't higher.
Caleb Fay is a rare 6'6" 205 lb multi-sport athlete who dominated Colorado 2A football on both sides of the ball with 893 receiving yards and 13 TDs plus 78 tackles and 5 sacks. His elite basketball pedigree (2,000+ career points, 4A Player of the Year, Air Force basketball commit) confirms high-level athleticism and body control. However, his football ceiling is limited by the lack of verified speed data, small-school competition, and the strong likelihood he plays basketball in college at Air Force rather than pursuing football.
Nigel Fay '26 is a teammate at Kent Denver who also received 1st Team All-Conference honors in football (2025), indicating a sibling with varsity-level athletic ability.
Set Fossil Ridge program records with 69 catches, 1,168 yards, and 16 TDs at 5A while benching 225 lbs at 180 — the production and strength are undeniable. A 4.6 forty limits his deep-threat projection, but the volume, hands, and physicality profile him as a reliable possession receiver who can contribute at FCS.
State champion with elite testing (4.49 forty, 3.98 shuttle, 37" vert) and 68 catches for 1,170 yards and 12 TDs — the diving TD in the 4A title game showed next-level ball skills. Undersized at 5'10" 160, but the verified athleticism and hands give him a real shot to contribute as a slot receiver at the next level.
6'3" 190 with 63 catches for 937 yards and 10 TDs at 5A Arvada West and a basketball background that suggests coordination and contested-catch ability — the frame is premium WR size. Only D2 offers (CSU-Pueblo, Adams State) due to no verified testing data; if he posts a sub-4.6 forty at a camp, the offer sheet could explode.
Air Force signee with verified 4.51 forty, 10.6 100m track speed, and strong 4A production (40 catches, 740 yards, 18.5 YPR, 85-yard long). Size at 5'8" 168 caps his projection as a slot/return specialist, but the speed is real and Colorado State also offered — he'll contribute early in Air Force's scheme.
Three-year crescendo at 5A Arvada West culminated in 69 catches, 1,109 yards, and 13 TDs with 2nd Team All-State honors — the production trajectory and elite strength numbers (265 bench, 500 squat) are impressive. No verified speed data limits his ceiling, but the volume, consistency, and two-way play (36 tackles, 1 INT) make him a solid UNC signee.
Noah Meurer is a highly productive, well-rounded wide receiver who improved every season at Arvada West, culminating in a dominant 69-catch, 1,109-yard, 13-TD senior campaign that earned him 2nd Team All-State honors and a signing with Northern Colorado. His combination of route-running polish, contested catch ability, defensive versatility (36 tackles, 1 INT), elite relative strength (265 bench, 500 squat), and basketball athleticism gives him a solid floor as a FCS contributor. The lack of verified speed testing and limited recruiting interest beyond UNC suggests his ceiling may be capped at the FCS level, but his production, intangibles, and two-sport athleticism indicate he could develop into a starter for the Bears.
Has a twin brother who also attends Arvada West. No other family athletic background found. Played for the Arvada Regulators youth football program.
157 career catches, 2,657 yards, and 32 TDs across four varsity seasons is an absurd career resume with steady YPR improvement each year — the 6'3" frame and ball skills are legit. 3A competition and lack of verified speed/testing data appropriately place him at D2 Western Colorado, where he should be a Day 1 impact player.
Pisciotta is an exceptionally productive Colorado 3A receiver with elite ball skills, a large catch radius, and impressive career numbers (157 rec, 2,657 yds, 32 TDs). However, his 190-lb frame at 6'3" and the lack of verified speed/athletic testing data cap his projection. He signed with D2 Western Colorado, which seems appropriate given his production ceiling at the 3A level -- he could be a Day 1 impact player at the D2 level with room to grow physically.
At 6'6" 205 with 44 catches, 804 yards, and 18.3 YPR as a senior, plus multi-sport athleticism in basketball and baseball, Williams is a classic small-town physical freak who needs to get to camps immediately. Zero offers and 2A competition make him a total projection, but that frame with those ball skills screams developmental TE/big WR if speed tests come back even remotely passable.
Alexander Williams is a fascinating physical specimen at 6'6" 205 lbs with legitimate two-way production and multi-sport athleticism out of Colorado Class 2A. His frame, receiving production (76 career receptions, 1,309 yards, 13 TDs), and 18.3 YPR as a senior suggest a projectable tight end or big slot receiver at the college level, but the complete absence of verified measurables, camp data, and recruiting interest makes it impossible to evaluate his D1 ceiling with confidence. He is the type of under-the-radar small-town prospect that needs to attend camps immediately to generate buzz.
Valor Christian's go-to target with 64 catches, 916 yards, and 9 TDs at 5A plus 41 tackles and 2 INTs on defense — production at the highest competition level. Size (5'10" 176) and a 4.62 forty cap his ceiling, but the Kent State and Cornell offers confirm he's a legitimate next-level player; Mines is a great fit.
6'2" with a reported 4.48 forty and a massive senior breakout (56 catches, 932 yards, 14 TDs including a 96-yard TD) after only 7 catches as a junior — the trajectory is exciting and the 87 tackles on defense show motor. Needs 20+ lbs on his 165-180 frame and verified testing to generate D1 interest, but the tools and late-bloomer profile are intriguing.
Collin Wolf is a high-upside, late-developing two-way athlete who exploded as a senior with 56 catches for 932 yards and 14 TDs while also contributing 87 tackles and 10 TFL on defense. His 6'2" frame, reported 4.48 speed, and multi-sport athleticism give him a projectable physical profile, but at 165-180 lbs he needs significant physical development. Wolf profiles as a DII/low-end FCS receiver prospect whose trajectory is still trending upward, and a strong spring/summer camp circuit could elevate his recruiting stock significantly.
25.0 YPR on 34 catches with 12 TDs at 4A earned All-State and Denver Post All-Colorado honors — the deep-ball production and year-over-year growth curve (168 → 403 → 849 yards) suggest a late bloomer still ascending. At 6'1" 155-165 with no testing data or offers, he desperately needs camps and 20+ lbs, but the ball skills and trajectory are worth monitoring.
McArthur is a late-blooming vertical threat who exploded as a senior with 34 catches for 849 yards and 12 TDs at an elite 25.0 YPR, earning All-State and Denver Post All-Colorado honors. His 6'1 frame, multi-sport athleticism, and contested-catch ability give him a projectable ceiling, but at 155-165 lbs with no verified testing data and zero reported offers, he profiles as a developmental FCS or D2 wide receiver who needs to add significant weight and get in front of college coaches at camps. If he can put on 20+ lbs and post verified speed numbers, his ball skills and production suggest he could become a contributor at the FCS level.
Southern Utah signee is the rare 1A prospect with FCS validation — 46 catches, 721 yards, 12 receiving TDs plus 625 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs shows a true do-everything athlete. An 11.2 100m and 1A competition level are concerns, but the FCS offer and two-way production (51 tackles, 2 INTs) confirm tools worth developing.
6'1" with 36 catches for 764 yards at 21.2 YPR and 150 rushing yards on 7 carries (21.4 YPC) shows explosive playmaking ability and versatility at 4A Bear Creek. At 150 lbs he's dangerously thin and needs 30+ lbs before college football is viable, but the big-play ability and Adams State offer keep him on the developmental radar.
6'3" 180 with 43 catches, 757 yards, and 8 TDs on offense plus a staggering 103 tackles and 3 INTs on defense — the motor and football IQ are undeniable. The 11.45 100m is a red flag for speed at higher levels, and 2A competition limits the projection, but Adams State gets a two-way player with a premium frame who could grow into a TE conversion.
Jordan Jones is a high-production, two-way athlete at the 2A level in Colorado who signed with Adams State (D2). His senior season numbers -- 43 receptions for 757 yards and 8 TDs on offense plus 103 tackles and 3 INTs on defense -- are remarkable and demonstrate elite football IQ and motor. However, his 6'3" 180 lb frame needs significant physical development, his timed speed (11.45 100m on Hudl) is a concern for higher levels, and the competition level caps his projection. He profiles as a D2 contributor who could develop into an impact player at Adams State with added weight and strength.
Son of Lathena (per Adams State signing day announcement). Also plays varsity basketball as a PF, suggesting athletic family background, but no specific parental athletic history found.
50 catches, 843 yards, and 13 TDs at 4A Monarch with scoring in 7 of 8 games shows consistency and red-zone reliability as a two-way WR/FS. Undersized at 5'11" 160 with conflicting height reports and no testing data or offers; needs verified measurables and significant physical development to project beyond D2/D3.
51 catches, 858 yards, and 13 TDs with 52 tackles on defense at 3A Niwot, plus state wrestling qualifier at 165 lbs — the production and toughness are evident. No height listed, no verified measurables, no offers, and 3A competition make him a complete projection; needs camps badly to determine if there's a college level for him.
Eli Quesada is a productive 3A wideout who put up eye-catching numbers (51 rec, 858 yds, 13 TD) and is a legitimate two-way player and multi-sport athlete who qualified for state wrestling twice at 165 lbs. However, the complete absence of verified measurables, zero D1 offers, and small-school competition level raise significant questions about his physical profile at the next level. He projects as a strong D2/D3/NAIA candidate with FCS upside if testing numbers validate his film speed.
50 catches, 719 yards, and 10 TDs at 5A Westminster with 5 INTs on defense and nationally-ranked kicking ability (Kohl's 4.5-star) show elite ball skills and multi-phase value. Generously listed at 5'9" 160 (some sources say 5'7" 145), which severely limits his WR ceiling; CSU Pueblo is an appropriate fit where his versatility can shine.
Adrian Moreno is a productive, versatile multi-sport athlete who projects as a D2/NAIA-level wide receiver and return specialist with kicking upside. His 75-catch, 22-TD receiving career and 9 interceptions on defense demonstrate elite ball skills and football IQ, but his size (generously 5'9" 160) and lack of verified speed testing create a low ceiling for FBS programs. His commitment to CSU Pueblo is an appropriate fit where he can contribute immediately as a WR/DB/kicker.
37 catches for 808 yards at 21.8 YPR with a 79-yard long plus 121 tackles and 4 INTs on defense at 1A Colorado Springs Christian — the two-way production is absurd. But 1A competition, a 155-165 lb frame, and zero offers make it nearly impossible to project to the college level without verified measurables.
45 catches, 955 yards, and 12 TDs at 21.2 YPR with 85 tackles on defense show a productive two-way player with YAC ability at 2A Lamar. Frame concerns (140-175 lbs depending on source), no verified measurables, 2A competition, and an NAIA commitment to McPherson College place him at the bottom of the D1 projection list.
Cason Pollart is a productive two-way athlete from a small Colorado 2A program who had an outstanding senior season (45 rec, 955 yds, 12 TD, 21.2 YPR plus 85 tackles and 2 INTs on defense). However, his slight frame (somewhere between 140-175 lbs), lack of verified measurables, and limited recruiting exposure resulted in only an NAIA signing with McPherson College. He projects as a potential contributor at the NAIA level but lacks the size, speed verification, and competition level to project as a D1 prospect.
