To be on the list, you had to have caught at least 20 passes during the 2020 season. The data being used comes from the statistics that were entered by coaches on the MaxPreps website. There are four factors that went into determining who made the list: catches, yards per catch, total yardage, and touchdowns.
Here are five wide receivers that averaged at least 15-plus yards per catch during the 2020 season.
D’Andre Sampson D’Andre Sampson 6'2" | 175 lbs | DB Greater Johnstown | 2022 State PA Ι 6-2 Ι 175 Johnstown HS

It’s scary to think of the numbers Anthony Ivey Anthony Ivey 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Manheim Township | 2022 State PA would’ve put up had his team been able to play 10 games.
