NextGen Orlando – 2026 & 2027 Wide Receiver Standouts

The NextGen camp series kicked off its 2022 tour this past weekend in Orlando, Fla. at Celebration High School. NextGen Camps evaluate more than 5,000 athletes each year. In its seven-year history athletes have received nearly 8,000 Division 1 scholarship offers. NextGen All-America Showcase camps have quickly become one of the nation’s most respected Middle School and High School Underclassmen Showcase Camps. Here is a look at the Wide Receivers in the classes of 2026 and 2027 that stood out to us. <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265363 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/AlijahJenkins-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Alijah Jenkins | Florida | 2026</strong> Smooth receiver with elite route running skills. Went 6-for-7 against his competition in one-on-one’s due to bad ball. Couldn’t be guarded, natural ability to gain separation using head fakes and developed footwork. Looked like the most polished 8th grade receiver at the event. Gained a medal for Next Gen MVP and heading to The Show. Next big receiver out of Orlando. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265364 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/TayshaunFranklin-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />[player_tooltip player_id="212309" first="Tayshaun" last="Franklin"] | Georgia | 2026</strong> Big for his age and his good fundamentals. Needs development with route running, will probably transition into a receiver in high school from the tight end position. Struggled with press, but performed well when presented with off man. Natural athlete that can high point the ball effectively. Performed average in combine but has long strides that will transition as he gets older. Diamond In the rough. &nbsp; <strong> <img class="alignleft wp-image-265368 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/JayenRemy-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Jayden Remy | Florida | 2026</strong> Tall receiver with promising muscle. Looked good in position drills with great footwork. Soft hands and can get in and out of breaks. Did well in one-on-one’s and has a competitive spirit. Quick and can drop his weight effectively. Coachable athlete. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265369 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/JeremiahLalanne-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Jeremiah Lalanne | Florida | 2026</strong> Wide out who has good size for his age. Explosive with bouncy legs. Great burst and soft hands with decent footwork. Didn’t drop any balls and can run the dig route and slant with patience. Came down with some impressive catches in one-on-one’s. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265376 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/CamdenSmith-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Camden Smith | Florida | 2026</strong> Great athlete who has good size. Twitchy and can come out of breaks. Didn’t drop a ball all day and looked smooth in drills. Comfortable facing press or man. Has the ability to track the ball over either shoulder. Ran well and looked developed in every facet of the day. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265377 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/MessiahBailey--150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Messiah Bailey | Florida | 2026</strong> Springy, rangy athlete who is explosive. Ran crisp routes and was physical at the top of his routes. Can run well with long legs. Should develop into a good athlete. Jumped well in his broad jump and looked natural. Right now he’s faster than he is quick, but will develop. Soft hands. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265379 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/AzuriJackson--150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Azuri Jackson | Florida | 2026</strong> Wide Receiver who can go get it. Has more straight line speed than quickness, and picks up speed down field. Ran good post routes and can come back to the ball on under thrown balls. Just one drop and competed all day regardless. Looked good when the ball touched his hands. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265380 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/DeoriPope-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Deori Pope | Florida | 2026</strong> Very quick receiver that can be dangerous in space. Ran well in 40 and jumped well in broad jump. Not a burner yet, but is very quick and agile. Has the ability to get open by just using head movement. Impressive potential. &nbsp; <strong><img class="alignleft wp-image-265382 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/KenyonAlston-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Kenyon Alston | Florida | 2026</strong> Big player receiver who is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential. Tall, long receiver that creates mismatches with his size and length. Overwhelms defensive backs with size and speed. Runs on his toes with long strides. Very promising vertical jump. One to watch develop.
