Travis Hunter Travis Hunter 6'1" | 165 lbs | ATH Collins Hill | 2022 State GA – Collins Hill – Class of 2022
Maybe the most explosive player in the state, the current 5-star prospect and future FSU Seminole is having an incredible junior season so far, and he’s the current receiving leader in the state with 775 yards and 10 touchdowns. He might be a lock-down defensive back at the next level, but his speed, reliable hands, athleticism, and overall agility could help him see some offense on the next level as well. He’s a big-time playmaker who is almost unguardable at the high school level. With talented junior Sam Horn Sam Horn 6'4" | 190 lbs | QB Collins Hill | 2022 State GA throwing him the ball, expect Hunter to keep piling up great numbers for the rest of the fall.
Josh Patterson – Georgia Force Christian – Class of 2022
He may not lead the state in receptions, but when Patterson makes a catch, he makes it count. With only 26 receptions on the season, Patterson has accumulated 642 yards, giving him an average of 24.7 yards per catch. Not only has the junior shown big-play ability, but he shows a knack for finding the end-zone. Of his 26 catches, 12 of them have gone for touchdowns. He may not be the biggest or fastest guy at 6-foot-0 160-pounds, but he’s a true football player with good hands and quickness. He knows how to get by defenders and his production isn’t expected to slow down anytime soon.
Adriel Clark Adriel Clark 6'5" | 185 lbs | WR Riverside Military Academy | 2021 GA – Rabun County – Class of 2021
I can imagine it’s been a fun year so far for the Rabun County senior. Not only are the Wildcats off to a 5-1 start, but Clark has 5-star QB Gunner Stockton Gunner Stockton 6'1" | 220 lbs | QB Rabun County | 2022 State GA throwing him the ball. Clark has been Stockton’s go-to receiver so far, catching 32 passes for 641 yards (20 yards per catch) and 13 touchdowns. Clark is a downfield weapon who has found the end-zone 10 times in the last three games. His biggest game of the season came last weekend where Clark caught 8 passes for 213 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 63-17 win over Pope. He’s explosive, reliable, and is one of the most productive receivers in the entire state.
Horatio Fields – New Manchester – Class of 2021
It’s hard to find a receiver who had a better start to the season that Manchester’s Fields. The big 6-foot-3 190-pound wideout started the season off with a bang, catching 19 passes for 455 yards and 4 touchdowns in his first three games. He’s cooled off a little since then, but his receiving yards still have him ranked in the top-5 in the state. He’s another big-play threat who can take the top off a defense and score any time he touches the ball. His best game came in Week 3 against Hiram where he caught 10 passes for 206 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Gamarion Carter – Stephens County – Class of 2021
You want to talk about a big-play receiver? Carter is your guy. He’s only caught 23 passes so far this year, but he’s made each one count for a total of 621 yards. That’s 27 yards per catch! He’s a big play weapon who has also found the end-zone 6 times so far. The two-sport star is also an excellent shooting guard on the basketball court, showing off his quickness and athleticism. He can jump, he can run, and he can make a play on the football. He’s a true game-chaning player and should help lead the 4-2 Trojans to a deep playoff run this fall.
