Prototypical P4 outside receiver at 6'4" 200 lbs with verified sub-4.70 speed, 37" vert, and track background (10.6 100m). Monster junior breakout (45 rec, 975 yds, 9 TD, 21.7 YPR) at 5A Valor Christian with 13 offers including Oregon, Missouri, and Northwestern -- the total package of size, speed, production, and recruiting validation.

PrepZone Assessment

Jackson Coleman is a legitimate P4 WR prospect with a rare physical profile -- 6-4, 200 lbs with verified sub-4.70 speed and track background. His big-play ability on film is evident with multiple 50+ yard touchdowns, and his camp testing (4.55 shuttle, 37-inch vertical, 21+ MPH max speed) confirms his athleticism translates beyond game film. With continued route-running development and another productive senior season, Coleman projects as a mid-to-high 3-star with potential to earn a 4th star and land at a program like Oregon, Missouri, or Northwestern.

Elite-level athlete with 11 D1 offers (Arizona, K-State, Utah, Colorado, Oregon State) and monster junior production (57 rec, 1312 yds, 20 TD, 23.0 YPR) at 5A Mountain Vista. Track-verified speed (10.93 100m, 23'2" long jump national freshman record) is rare, but the 5'10" 158 lb frame is the only thing keeping him from being the clear #1 -- he needs 20 lbs but the athletic ceiling is sky-high.

PrepZone Assessment

Brooklyn Bailey is a legitimate Big 12-level athlete with elite verified track speed (10.93 100m) and explosive jumping ability (23'2" LJ) who produced monster numbers as a junior WR1 (54-1,260-20) on a Colorado 5A semifinalist. The frame is lean at 5-11/165 and will need significant development in the weight room, but the athletic testing floor is extremely high and the two-way production (WR/CB) demonstrates competitive versatility. With his speed, ball skills, and room to fill out, Bailey projects as a potential impact slot receiver or field-side corner at the Power 5 level with continued physical maturation.

A 6'6" 195 lb multi-sport freak (2A Basketball POY averaging 22.5/11.1/4.4, can dunk) who produced 48 rec/894 yds/11 TD and 94 tackles/6 INTs on defense -- the physical tools are absolutely elite and the ball skills translate from basketball. The 8-man competition and zero verified football testing/offers are real concerns, but this is the kind of frame-and-athleticism combination that could be a TE/WR steal if a D1 program gets him into a weight room and on a camp circuit.

PrepZone Assessment

Tatum Kocerha is a rare physical specimen at 6'6" 190 lbs with elite multi-sport production, headlined by being named Colorado 2A Basketball Player of the Year as a sophomore while also leading his football team in receiving yards, touchdowns, AND tackles. His basketball skill set (point guard at 6'6" who can dunk, averaging 22.5/11.1/4.4) suggests the kind of coordination, hands, and competitive motor that could translate to a difference-making pass catcher at the next level. However, he is completely off the football recruiting radar playing 8-man ball in tiny Simla, CO, and desperately needs verified speed testing and exposure at camps to validate his D1 football ceiling -- this is a high-upside, high-uncertainty prospect who could project as a WR or TE with the right development.

Legend | Class of 2027 | Offers: North Dakota
6'4" | 194 lbs | 40: 4.6s | Vert: 34
All-Colorado Honorable Mention 2025

At 6'4" 194 lbs with 12 TDs and 18.8 YPR at 5A Legend, Marchand has the prototypical outside receiver frame and contested-catch ability that college coaches covet. The North Dakota offer validates some interest, but he needs verified speed at camps this spring -- if he can confirm sub-4.65 speed, G5/low-P4 offers should follow.

PrepZone Assessment

Marchand is a long, productive boundary receiver with a projectable 6-4 frame, strong hands, and legitimate contested-catch ability that translated to 12 TDs as a junior in Colorado 5A. His combination of size, 18.8 YPC average, and route-running nuance (per scout evaluation) gives him a clear FCS starter ceiling with FBS upside if he can verify speed at camps this offseason. He needs to get in front of more college coaches -- a strong senior camp circuit and 1,000-yard senior season could generate significant FBS interest at the Group of 5 level.

5'10" | 160 lbs | 100m: 11.08s | 200m: 23.67s

Committed to Wyoming with offers from Oregon State, Miami, and Ole Miss, which is strong recruiting validation for a 5'10" 160 lb slot receiver. Back-to-back 5A state championships at Cherry Creek, 95 career catches, and verified 11.08 100m speed confirm he can play at the FBS level -- the frame is the only limiter on his ceiling.

PrepZone Assessment

Alijah Landrum-Hamilton is a productive, quick-twitch slot receiver who proved himself on Colorado's biggest stage, helping Cherry Creek win back-to-back 5A state titles. His electronically timed 11.08 100m confirms legitimate speed, and his jump from 10.3 to 15.2 YPR shows development as a downfield threat. However, his 5'10" 160 lb frame is a concern at the FBS level, and his ceiling may be capped as a slot-only weapon unless he can add functional weight -- Wyoming is a solid fit where he can contribute early.

The 6'4" 185 lb frame combined with 102 career catches, 22 career TDs, and 10 career INTs at 3A Roosevelt is a fascinating profile -- All-State Second Team and Denver Post 101 Impact Players recognition validates the production. Desperately needs verified speed testing; if he runs 4.55-4.65 at that size, he could be one of the biggest risers in the state.

PrepZone Assessment

Noah Lucero is a high-upside, under-the-radar 2027 WR/DB prospect with an elite physical frame (6'4" 185 lbs) and outstanding production (102 career catches, 1,677 yards, 22 TDs over three varsity seasons in Colorado 3A). His contested-catch ability, two-way versatility (5 INTs as a junior), and multi-sport athleticism suggest a legitimate FCS-to-low-major FBS ceiling, with potential to climb if he tests well at camps and gains exposure against higher-level competition. The critical missing piece is verified speed/athletic testing data -- if he can run in the 4.5-4.6 range at his size, he becomes a very intriguing mid-major or Group of 5 prospect.

2025 Academic All-State

A 6'4" 185 lb WR who produced 26 rec/562 yds/7 TD (21.6 YPR) on a 12-1 5A semifinalist while playing alongside Brooklyn Bailey -- that frame and efficiency at that competition level demand attention. No offers or verified speed yet, but the size, big-play production, multi-sport athleticism (varsity basketball), and 225 lb bench press suggest a developmental prospect with real upside.

PrepZone Assessment

Luke Bentley is a physically intriguing 2027 WR prospect with ideal size (6'4", 185) and legitimate big-play production (26 rec, 562 yds, 7 TD, 21.6 YPR) on a 12-1 Colorado 5A semifinal team. His multi-sport athleticism (varsity basketball SF) and strong bench (225 lbs) suggest a high physical ceiling, but the lack of verified speed testing, recruiting interest, and target volume make him a developmental prospect who needs a standout senior camp circuit and film push to generate FCS/low-Group of 5 interest.

Camp-verified 4.52 forty, 64 catches for 945 yards, All-State Second Team at WR/CB, and 44 tackles on a 4A state finalist -- this kid is a football player. The 5'11" 160 lb frame and lack of D1 offers are the barriers, but the volume, two-way production, and speed suggest a strong FCS prospect with late G5 upside if he adds weight.

PrepZone Assessment

Crisler is a productive, two-way playmaker with verified sub-4.55 speed who was the go-to receiver on a Colorado 4A state finalist. His junior tape and stats (64 catches, 945 yards, plus 44 tackles on defense) are impressive, but his 5'11" 160-lb frame and lack of D1 offers to date make him a developmental prospect best suited for FCS or high-academic D1 programs. If he can add 15-20 lbs while maintaining his speed and continues to perform at summer camps, he could earn late FBS or strong FCS offers heading into his senior year.

At 6'3" 206 lbs with 117 tackles, 10 TFL, 49 receptions, and 2 INTs at 5A Regis Jesuit, Filleman's best projection may be as a safety/nickel hybrid rather than WR, but the two-way production at that size is rare. Needs verified speed testing badly -- if he runs sub-4.7, he becomes a very interesting FBS defensive prospect with offensive versatility.

PrepZone Assessment

Filleman is a fascinating defensive prospect with rare size (6'3" 206) for a safety/nickel player who produced elite tackle numbers (112 tackles, 13 TFL) while also contributing significantly as a receiving threat (49 catches, 6 TDs). His best college projection is likely as a strong safety or hybrid linebacker in a defense that values versatility. He needs verified athletic testing and camp exposure to accelerate his recruitment, but his combination of size, instincts, tackling, and two-way production makes him a legitimate FCS/low-end FBS prospect with upside if his speed tests well.

His 6'1" frame, 4.57 speed, Southern League Defensive Player of the Year honor, and 493-yard receiving junior season show a prospect who impacts games on both sides of the ball. With a strong senior campaign and verified camp testing, he could push into low-level FBS consideration, but his most likely ceiling is a high-impact Ivy League or top-tier FCS contributor at cornerback.

27.6 YPR on 26 catches with 9 TDs plus 5 INTs on defense in just 10 games at 4A Chaparral -- the per-game production and two-way ball skills are outstanding. At 6'2" 180 with a 73" wingspan and 4.67 speed, he has the frame to develop into an FCS/low G5 prospect, but needs camp exposure to convert the production into offers.

PrepZone Assessment

Basham is a high-upside, under-recruited two-way athlete with legitimate playmaking ability on both sides of the ball. His junior year production (718 receiving yards, 9 TDs in 5 games as a WR; 5 INTs on defense) is eye-popping, and his 73-inch wingspan and ball skills project well. The biggest question is whether his measured 4.67 speed and 170-lb frame can translate to the FCS/Group of 5 level, but with a full offseason to train and a senior year of full-time WR reps, he could emerge as a legitimate low-major D1 or strong FCS target.

Munoz is a fascinating small-school two-way athlete with elite ball skills (8 INTs, 32 rec, 7 TDs, 3 PR TDs) and verified track & field explosiveness (3A state triple jump champion at 44-2). His 6'0" frame has significant room to fill out from 150 lbs, and if he can add 20-30 pounds while maintaining his speed and leaping ability, he has the physical tools to project as a D1 cornerback or slot receiver at the FCS/low-FBS level. The biggest hurdle is exposure -- he's completely off the national radar playing 2A football in rural Colorado and needs verified testing numbers and camp appearances to generate offers.

His route-running polish, reliable hands, and two-way play suggest a high football IQ, though he needs to add 15-20 lbs and get verified testing numbers at camps to generate D1 interest.

Elite agility numbers (4.03 shuttle, 6.81 L-drill at PRZ Combine) and 44 rec/532 yds/7 TD production show a twitchy slot receiver with reliable hands at 4A Riverdale Ridge. At 5'10" 170 with a 4.58 best forty, he profiles as an FCS slot specialist who needs to maintain agility while adding mass.

PrepZone Assessment

Roman Garcia is a twitchy, productive slot receiver with elite change-of-direction ability and reliable hands who projects as an FCS or high-end D2 prospect with upside. His junior season statistical explosion (44 rec, 532 yds, 7 TD) on a strong 4A program, combined with verified combine agility numbers (4.21 shuttle, 6.81 L-drill) and strong scouting evaluations, suggest a player who could earn FCS offers with a big senior campaign and verified sub-4.7 speed. He needs to add weight, get verified speed times, and compete at higher-profile camps to push into low-major FBS consideration.

1,000+ career receiving yards with 42 rec/675 yds as a junior at 4A Loveland, plus 2 INTs and physical toughness over the middle. The Northern Colorado PWO interest is appropriate for his current profile at 5'10" 175 with no verified testing -- needs camp measurables to push into scholarship FCS territory.

PrepZone Assessment

Villeneuve is a productive, two-way Colorado 4A player who has been the clear WR1 for Loveland across two varsity seasons, accumulating over 1,000 career receiving yards with a nice junior-year breakout (675 yds, 16.1 avg). His ball skills, route discipline, toughness over the middle, and ability to contribute at CB show a high-IQ, competitive football player. However, at 5'10" 175 with no verified speed/athletic testing data, no major recruiting service profile, and only a PWO mention from Northern Colorado, he projects as a FCS or D2 prospect unless he can get to camps, post verifiable speed numbers, and continue producing at a high level during his senior season.

2nd Team All-Southern League (WR) - 2025 season Led team in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs (2025 season)

Solid 6'1" 185 lb frame and led his 5A Pine Creek team in receiving (29 rec/434 yds/4 TD), but the modest production, self-reported 4.66 forty, and zero offers suggest a developmental FCS/D2 prospect. Multi-sport background (basketball) adds some athleticism upside, but needs a significant senior year jump.

PrepZone Assessment

Brayden Plunkett is a solid Class 5A two-way contributor with adequate size (6'1") and developing athleticism, but his current production and measurables profile as an FCS/D2 prospect rather than FBS. He led his team in receiving as a junior on a playoff team, which is encouraging, but modest volume numbers and the lack of any verified speed testing or recruiting interest from power programs limit his ceiling projection. A strong senior year with improved speed testing at camps could elevate him into low-major D1 or strong D2 consideration.

First Team All-Conference (3A North, 2025 season) MaxPreps Player of the Game (1x) 3A State Track & Field Championships - 8th place 110m Hurdles (14.94)

The QB-to-WR conversion produced 39 rec/601 yds/10 TD at 3A Niwot with verified track speed (11.67 100m, 14.94 110mH at state) showing real athleticism. The complete absence of height/weight data is a red flag, but the production, versatility, and track background make him worth monitoring.

PrepZone Assessment

Martinez is a dynamic multi-sport athlete whose junior year transition from QB to WR produced impressive receiving numbers (39 rec, 601 yds, 10 TD) and whose track background (11.67 100m, 14.94 110mH at state) confirms legitimate speed and athleticism. However, the complete absence of verified measurables, the low level of competition at Colorado 3A, and zero recruiting interest to date make him a long-shot D1 prospect who needs to get to camps, establish his size profile, and prove he can compete against higher-caliber opponents. His ceiling is likely as a small-school FCS or D2 receiver/athlete if he can verify adequate size.

Reliable slot receiver with 47 rec/596 yds/5 TD at 5A Chatfield showing good hands and separation quickness. At 5'9" 160 with no verified testing or offers, he profiles as a D2/FCS walk-on candidate who needs elite speed verification to change his trajectory.

PrepZone Assessment

Zeller is a productive, well-rounded slot receiver with legitimate quickness and reliable hands who showed strong improvement from sophomore to junior year (47 rec, 596 yds, 5 TDs). However, at 5'9" 160 lbs with no verified athletic testing and no college offers, he profiles as a lower-level FCS or D2 prospect unless he can add size and post elite speed numbers at camps. His track & field background and multi-phase contributions (WR/DB/KR/PR) give him intriguing upside as an ATH prospect, but he needs a big senior year and verified measurables to move the needle with D1 programs.

Verified 10.99 100m track speed and 1,191 all-purpose yards with 14 TDs in 8-man football show a dynamic athlete with legitimate burner potential. At 5'10" 160, the frame and competition level are major concerns, but the track times suggest a player who could develop into an FCS speed threat with significant physical growth.

PrepZone Assessment

Benjamin McPherson is a dynamic, speed-based athlete who dominated Colorado 8-man football as a junior with 1,191 all-purpose yards and 14 total TDs. His track speed (10.99 100m, albeit wind-aided) suggests legitimate deep-threat ability, and his junior receiving breakout (29 catches, 554 yards, 12 TDs) shows developing route-running and hands. However, at 5'10" 160 lbs playing 8-man ball in a tiny Colorado classification, he is a significant projection -- he needs verified testing at camps, physical development, and exposure against higher-level competition before D1 programs will engage seriously. Best current projection is as a developmental FCS or D2 prospect with FBS upside if measurables verify and he continues to grow.

Intriguing deep-ball ability (23.9 YPR, 87-yard long) and 4 INTs at 2A Strasburg, plus kick return ability, show multi-phase playmaking instincts. At 5'11" 145 lbs with no verified testing, he needs 30+ lbs before he can be taken seriously as a college prospect.

PrepZone Assessment

Jayden Miller is an intriguing two-way athlete with elite deep-ball receiving ability (23.9 YPC, 87-yard long) and ball-hawking defensive instincts (4 INTs) on a winning 2A program. His biggest hurdle is a very slight 145-lb frame that must add 25-35 lbs before he can compete at higher levels of football. With his track speed (52.07 400m), multi-sport athleticism, and natural playmaking ability on both sides of the ball, he profiles as a potential FCS or D2 sleeper if he physically matures, but he needs verified testing data and exposure at camps to generate recruiting interest.

Excellent route runner with PRZ Combine All-Star honors and strong weight room numbers (225 bench, 385 squat at 165 lbs), but 5'8" with a 4.81 forty creates a hard ceiling. Profiles as a crafty FCS/D2 slot receiver at best -- needs significant speed improvement.

PrepZone Assessment

Derek Niday is a crafty, high-IQ slot receiver with excellent route running and reliable hands, but his 5'8" 165 lb frame and 4.81 forty create a significant physical ceiling concern at the D1 level. His combine testing shows good agility (4.59 shuttle, 7.06 L-drill) and surprising strength (225 bench, 385 squat), but he'll need to improve his speed and increase production in his senior year to attract FCS or lower-level FBS interest. Best projection is as a scholarship candidate at the FCS level or a preferred walk-on at a Group of 5 school.

2025 CHSAA All-State Football (Colorado 1A 8-Man) - listed as WR/LB/K All-Conference Football (Holyoke) MaxPreps Player of the Game selection (vs. Wiggins, Oct 25, 2025)

All-State selection with 30 rec/666 yds/9 TD (22.2 YPR) in 8-man football at Holyoke shows legitimate playmaking, but 5'11" 150 lbs with no testing data, no film, and 1A 8-man competition make this a small-college (D2/D3/NAIA) projection.

PrepZone Assessment

Elbin Padilla is a highly productive small-school receiver with legitimate playmaking ability -- his 22.2 yards-per-catch average, multiple 150+ yard receiving games, and All-State selection as a junior are impressive regardless of classification. However, at 5'11" / 150 lbs playing 8-man football in Colorado's smallest classification with zero verified testing numbers and no film uploaded to Hudl, he is currently far off the D1 radar. He projects as an intriguing small-college prospect (D2/D3/NAIA) who could emerge with significant physical development and exposure at camps before his senior year.

Big-play ability is evident with 23.2 YPR and highlight catches at 1A Colorado Springs Christian, but 5'10" 155 lbs (possibly smaller) with no testing data at the 1A level limits his projection. Needs significant physical development and camp exposure to get on any college radar.

PrepZone Assessment

Silas Lambert is a high-upside but extremely early-stage prospect who flashes big-play ability as a deep threat at the 1A level in Colorado. His 23+ yards-per-catch average and highlight-reel catches suggest legitimate speed and ball skills, but at 5'10" and roughly 155 lbs with no verified athletic testing, he needs significant physical development and exposure at camps/combines to generate D1 interest. He projects as a potential FCS or D2 target who could work his way onto lower-level D1 radars with a strong senior season and measurable verification.

Dynamic athlete with 1,000+ all-purpose yards and 69 tackles at 2A Banning Lewis Academy, but 5'8" 140 lbs is the smallest frame in this class. Three-sport athlete with upside trajectory, but the size and competition level make him a D3/NAIA projection without dramatic physical growth.

PrepZone Assessment

Isaiah Gomez is a dynamic, undersized multi-sport athlete who made a massive statistical jump as a junior, posting over 1,000 all-purpose yards and contributing significantly on both sides of the ball at the 2A level in Colorado. His 18.3 YPR receiving average and big-play ability are intriguing, but at 5'8" and 140 lbs with no verified speed testing and no current recruiting interest, he projects as a small-college prospect who needs to add significant weight and attend camps to get on radars. His three-sport athleticism and trajectory suggest upside, but the level of competition and lack of measurable data make this a high-ceiling, high-risk evaluation.
