Good find deadlift. Geez this kid was 6'4 190 pounds coming out of high school, ran a 4.52 40 a 3.97 SS, a 7.16 3 cone, and a 37 inch vertical. His only offers; Air Force, Arkansas State, and Kansas. You would think the Hogs would want to keep him in state...

Louisiana Tech's JR WR R.P. Stuart will hopefully improve on his Sophomore season when he caught 17 passes for 249 yards 1 TD in only 9 games. The Austin, TX native was a two star recruit by Rivals and has played some plays as a running WR scoring 2 TDs in 08 from the rush.

Arkansas State is in Arkansas, celticdb15.
smiley2.gif
smiley4.gif
but in all seriousness, the Hogs have almost no interest in White receivers, even if they are tall speedstersfrom in-state. if i'm not mistaken, there are 6 in-state receivers on scholarship for the Razorbacks ... and only 1 of them is White. this despite year after year the most dominant (and fastest) wide receivers in the state are White kids, which iseasily illustrated.

the lone White wideoutfor Arkansas is Neal Barlow, who redshirted last year with a leg injury.at 6-6 and possessing high-4.5 speed, Barlow is a nightmare on the outside, but so far he's not expected to even be in the receiver rotation.
smiley5.gif
but i'm sure an athlete with Barlow's resume really isn't as good as his numbers indicate, and he's simply not good enough. this highlight videp shows just how un-gifted he is.
smiley2.gif


what's messed up, though,is that Barlow wasn't even the best wide receiver on his high school team ... Carson McKnight was faster and more productive (albeit "only" about6-feet tall)than any of the wideouts the Hogs signed, but hehad that damn skin condition that destroys athleticism.

nealbarlow-1.jpg

Neal Barlow

as for Arkansas State, they have a looooooong history of jerking around the few White athletes they sign at the caste positions. just take a look at what happened to tailbackDerek Lawson last season.

Taylor Stockemer is a very good athlete, and i wish him the best, but he does have a big hill to climb. the one thing in his favor (aside from his talent, of course) is that he's a relatively high-profile signee. but the Red Wolves are no fan of gifted White athletes, as the coaching staff refused to give walk-onT.J. Burk a chance at cracking the rotation, despite his being the fastest wide receiver (and third-fastest player) and having the best hands on the team at 6-2. he was relegated to strictly WSTD status except in garbage time. Burk stuck it out for 3 years, but finally said he'd had enough of being jerked aroundthis off-season.

this fallthe Cowboys are expecting David Leonard to be their go-to guy in the passing game. after being used as more of a possession receiver last season, if all goes according to plan the 6-4 Leonard should emerge as one of the most productive wideouts in the MWC this fall.

he's also a top-notch punt returner.

davidleonard-1.jpg

David Leonard

the Cowboys have implemented a 4-wide base offense, and former walk-on Zach Bolger has siezed one of the other starting spots.

edited for factual correction. and a hat-tip to Freethinker for the spot.

Air Force doesn't throw the ball very much, but they have a talented duo at wideout when they do.

at 6-5, Kevin Fogler is a big target with a knack for making big plays. Fogler led the Falcons in receiving last year, and heis expected todo so again. it is perhaps fitting that the skywalker plays for the Air Force.

Kevin Fogler

diminutive sophomore teammate Jonathan Warzeka provides a completely different skill set, reminding many of former Academy playmaker Chad Hall. Warzekahas blazing speed(10.68 100-meters), so expect the coaches to try and get the ball in his hands in a lot of ways.

Alex Neutz, RS Frosh, SUNY at Buffalo.

Neutz stands out in UB spring game
The Grand Island graduate was the top performer in UB's annual Blue-White scrimmage, hauling in seven passes for 106 yards and a long touchdown.

Neutz, a 6-foot-3 wide receiver, was redshirted in his freshman season, and entered spring practices as the fourth or fifth receiver on the Bulls' depth chart.

I totally forgot about Leonard. He sure does have some talent. Good find Jimmy C.

One small correction. Max Komar played for Idaho. He put up great numbers at his pro day but to the best of my knowledge has not received a sniff from the NFL.

Ya'll don't forget about Leonard's Cowboy teammate, Zach Bolger. Hopefully, he'll have a great year as well.

Troy senior Austin Silvoy gets a lot of action, but hasn't seen a lot of balls thrown his way. is this gonna be his year?

he also doubles as the team's holder.

Surprisingly Jimmy this kid Cruse actually got 3 offers from Miami, Cincinnati and Eastern Michigan despite Whiterivals ranking him as the 246th best receiver in the nation.

a tip of the hat to Jack Lambert who pointed out two youngsters who have the chance to contributefor Rice this year.

Andre Gautreaux is a 5-11 redshirt freshman with 4.4 speed.

true freshman Klein Kubiak has terrific bloodlines, as both his brothers played Division One football at Colorado State, to go with good size (6-1) and 4.5 speed.

Ball State has a White duo at wideout.

junior Briggs Orsbon has been the man in the passing game since he stepped on campus, but i'm getting ahead of myself.

possessing ideal tailback size (6-0, 189-pounds), speed (4.4 40), and agility ...

[tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFJsuljxVNA[/tube]

... Orsbon was a multi-talented phenom in high school, setting records as a receiver and a runner (he was also a dual-threat quarterback). but despite having a glowing resume running the ball, Orsbon was moved exclusively to wide receiver upon entering college. "weird," huh?
smiley2.gif


his versatility (as is so common with White athletes) has served him well despite the position change, as he led Ball State in receiving as both a true freshman and as a sophomore. expectOrsbon to be the focus of the passing gameagain this fall.

6-3 senior Daniel Ifft is your prototypical big possession receiver.

SMU junior Cole Beasley is an incredible athlete. despite being just 5-9, he quickly earned a reputation as an acrobatic pass-catcher for the Mustangs with his 42-inch vertical and 4.4 speed.

another in a long line of potential tailbacks...

[tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRXagOsRwU0[/tube]

... Beasley's versatility allowed a successful move to the racially appropriate role of "slot receiver" as a true freshman.after being a part-time starter for the past two seasons, Beasley should be the go-to guy in the SMU passing game this fall.

after not seeing the field for three years at Iowa State, Jake Williams emerged as a legitimate threat for the Cyclones as a redshirt junior, finishing second on the team in receptions andsnagging a team-high5touchdown catches.

Williamsbecame a bigger weaponas the season progressed, so hopefully he'll continue to emerge as a playmaker this fall.

Vanderbilt's John Cole was the team's top wide receiver as a redshirt freshman last season ... despite playing the final 7 games with a surgically repaired hand.
smiley3.gif
smiley32.gif
he broke the hand playing against Rice.

blessed with 4.4 speed and incredible hands (well, he has at least one incredible hand, for sure!
smiley2.gif
) , Cole simply needs a good quarterback to get him the ball. will Vandy have one this year?

Hopefully some of these receivers can have breakout years and end up on NFL radars. I'd like to see Devon Wylie get drafted. If given an opportunity he could easily be one of the best kickoff or punt returners in the league.

while i had a few moments i thought i'd post a couple of the higher-profile wideouts that are expected to dominate the FCS and Division II this fall ...

Southern Utah's Tysson Poots finished the 2009 season ranked second in the FCS in receptions per game, yards per game and points per game last year ... which is even more impressive when you consider that he was sidelined for nearly 5 weeks due to a stress fracture in his right foot.

at 6-3, 205-pounds and blessed with good leaping ability, Poots is known as a playmaker in the air. he also has above-average speed, running a 4.52.

he is rated as the top returning wideout in the FCS.

tyssonpoots.jpg

Tysson Poots

Appalachian State has become possibly the highest-profile FCS school in recent years due to their knack for the big upset and their almost routine appearances in the National Championship game. a nearly all-black team, it might surprise most fans that their best players always include one of their lonely White athletes. this year should be no different.

senior Matt Cline is possibly the fastest player on the Mountaineers, and he is their top wideout. often overshadowed in the media by taller (and appropriately hued) teammate Brian Quick, Cline is a versatile weapon who is a threat catching the ball, running it, or in the kicking game.

mattcline.jpg

Matt Cline

all hail Villanova's Matt Szczur! he is well known to most CFers because ofis incredibly explosive, all-around talent with the ball in his hands (he will often play wide receiver, running back, quarterback and kick returner in the same game). the only question is: will he return to the gridiron this fall? Szczur was drafted in the 5th Round of the MLB Draft a few days ago.

mattszczur.jpg

Matt Szczur

oh, and here's a highlight vid of Szczur put together by CF's own, dwid.

[tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEV6Yr1r__w[/tube]

in Division II, the top wide receiver from 2009 returns for more in 2010. defending National Champions Northwest Missouri State will once again feature Jake Soy as their main weapon in the passing game.

Soy, who will be a junior,wasnamed the best NCAA Division II receiver in the country last seasonafter a record-setting year that included 27 touchdown receptions, third most in D-II history. a first-team all-America selection after catching 92 passes for 1,559 yards, the most in the nation, Soyhad nine 100-yard receiving games and caught four touchdowns in one game and three in another. perhaps even more impressively, he played big in big games. he had 9 catches for 118 yards and a touchdown in theChampionship game.

jakesoy.jpg

Jake Soy

a couple of other guys to keep an eye on are both speedsters who should earn numerous post-season honors and All-American consideration:

Ashland's Joe Horn is a multiple-time All-American sprinter on the track (200 meters, 400, 4x100, and 4x400) as well as being a playmaker on the football field. the school record holder in the 400 also has speed while wearing pads, unlike so many track guys. he caught 69 balls for 1,095 yards and 9 touchdowns last fall, en route to leading Ashland to its first-ever postseason win.

at 5-11, 182-pounds he has adequate size to go with his blazing speed.

joehorn.jpg

Joe Horn

Nebraska-Kearney's Kyle Kaiser doesn't run track (unfortunately), but his speed is well known. rumored to run a 4.3 40, Kaiser had 12 touchdown catches and 1,013 receiving yards on just 46 catches last fall. for you math-o-phobes, that's a whopping 22.1 yards-per-catch average.
smiley32.gif


he's a slender 6-0, weighing just 170. but he has game-breaking ability.

HL, thanks for adding UGA's Kris Durham (6'5, 210) who has great hands & good speed (4.5). Here's a rare photo/shot of White UGA players (including Durham)....tearing up poly-loaded Hawaii in the '08 Sugar Bowl.
