Continue ReadingWith the 2021 season upon us, I wanted to go in-depth about some wide receivers that are under the radar right now. These players are all talented and have college level ability and skills. Some of these players have a few offers and with the help of big seasons I can forsee all of them playing college football at some level.
DJ Coston DJ Coston WR Hilliard | 2022 FL – Hilliard High
6’0 180lbs
Coston is a good rospect and is a very versatile receiver, he also returns kicks and averaged 39.8 yards per return! He has breakaway speed which was evident watching his kick return for a touchdown. Coston is a slot receiver, but he consistently gets behind defenses for long touchdowns. He has deceptive route running ability and is a big play threat. Last season he had 15 catches for 241 yards and 4 touchdowns! His recruiting is starting to heat up, he’s got several offers from prep schools, but I suspect he’ll be getting more offers going into his senior season.

Brenden Hall- Dixie County
6’2 175lbs
Hall is one of the most underrated receiver prospects in the state, he is electric with the ball in his hands, shows great change-of-direction agility and is explosive on returns or screens. Hall has home run hitting speed, he’s a nice size receiver with length and a huge catch radius, he shows outstanding body control making highlight-reel catches, he has Division 1 ability and somehow doesn’t have a single offer yet! He had a very good season last year with 21 receptions for 504 yards and six touchdowns. His film speaks for itself, some school is going to get an absolute steal with this player.
Daniel Galarza- Dunedin High
5’10 155lbs
Galarza it’s one of the more underrated players in Tampa Bay, it seems like every year he goes out and performs at a high level. He is a smooth route runner, he never breaks speed on any routes which generates consistent separation. Has really good hands and speed. Shows the willingness to be a blocker despite his size. He made the All-State team and finished the season with 21 catches for 486 yards and nine total touchdowns.

Eddie Combs- Satellite High c/o 23
6’2 170lbs
Combs is a very good Junior prospect that had a very productive season for one of the better teams in the state, he led Satellite with 36 perceptions for 443 yards and six touchdowns and averaged over 24 yards per kick return. Combs’s speed (4.53 40) immediately jumps out on film, his acceleration and burst allow him to fly by defensive backs, does a good job getting in and out of his breaks, and shows solid hands. He’s a playmaker and deep threat receiver, he’s also a good student with a 3.9 GPA. I believe he’s going to have a huge season in 2021.

Demitrius Carter- Alonso High
6’2 160lbs
Carter was a bright spot for Alonso’s offense last season, he had 33 catches for 437 yards and two touchdowns. He’s a tall/long limbed, long-stridding receiver that has a big catch radius, he’s a natural hands catcher that does a good job plucking the ball in the air. He could double his production this season.
