Class of 2018| Miami-Dade Top 15 Wide Receivers on the Rise for 2017
Over the past five years, Miami-Dade has seen its share of emerging stars enter their senior season without accolades next to their names, and blossom out of nowhere and collect stars, offers and followers from college football fans on social media. For example, Miami Booker T. Washington WR Antonio Callaway, a transfer from Homestead HS, went from unheralded to playing in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for the Florida Gators, and later earned freshman All-American right out the gate.
In addition, the county has seen a long list of little-known names take the high school world by storm their senior season, such as Jerron Rollins (Cincinnati), Nichols Norris (WKU), Raymond Flanders (Marshall), Steven Claude (Wake Forest) and C. J. Worton (UF) just to name a few, weren't household names, but by the time the season ended, everyone wanted them to ink their name in their recruiting class.
What I'm trying to throw light upon is, below are names of talented prospects, who have the capability of exploding this fall. There's a number of reasons why they have yet to surface in the recruiting world due to either waiting their turn on a talented roster. This is now, or never to make an impact and take South Florida over by storm.
Soon-to-be senior outside wide receivers Jordan Dillard, Phenol Williams, Tyquan Thornton and Tyler Harrell are all intriguing prospects when you factor their size, athleticism and production. They all legitimately, stand above 6-foot-1 with speed and strong hands.
The inside receivers (slots) have four names to make note of which is Joe Hardy, Chaii Bland, Seth McGill and Natavious Payne – who are small, quick players with major ability to change direction.
