Chris Hilton Chris Hilton 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR Zachary | 2021 State LA
WR Rank #1
This future LSU prospect is one of the states of Louisiana’s best receivers in his class. He is a speedy receiver who can make big plays happen. His route running ability is dangerous and he can catch the ball over defenders, as he catches the ball at the apex. He beats defenders on one on one coverage with his speed and is a truly gifted athlete. He can catch in traffic and make all the big plays look routine. Look for this future star in college to make an immediate impact at the next level.

Brian Thomas Brian Thomas 6'4" | 190 lbs | WR Walker | 2021 State LA
WR Rank #3
Two-Sport athlete, Brain Thomas plays basketball as well as football. His athleticism transfers well to the gridiron at the receiver position. Adequate-sized receiver with a lean, athletic build. Flashes impressive timing and high-pointing ability on contested throws. Generally a good hands catcher. Adequate to above-average on-field long speed but can get faster at the top end. Gets off the line quickly and on top of corners in a hurry. Filling out and getting stronger will help transition to facing high-major DB’s, as a pass-catcher and a perimeter blocker. Athleticism translates to the gridiron.

Flashes impressive timing and high-pointing ability on contested throws. Meets the ball at the apex. Adjusts well with encouraging body control. Gets off the line quickly and on top of corners in a hurry. Shows impressive burst and acceleration. Dangerous vertically and in run-after-catch scenarios. Quick-footed and should possess a high ceiling as a route-runner.

Good football pedigree. Shows good acceleration. Gets on top of corners quickly and flashes runaway speed. Springy in 50-50 situations and can go up and get it in traffic. Can more consistently leverage DB’s into breaks. Explosive playmaking ability in the open field. Generally a good hands catcher.

Above-average size receiver at 6’1 plays larger due to wingspan and vertical. This is an athlete who can play both sides of the ball and return punts. Great on special teams as a return man and shows flashes of his speed and quickness on the gridiron. Quick-footed and builds speed downfield thanks to stride length, which fuels vertical field-stretching ability.
