With the 2025 recruiting cycle almost fully complete, On3 has updated its player rankings for the final time — a list that prominently features some of the nation’s top wide receiver recruits.

Oregon signee Dakorien Moore leads the class, as he has for nearly the entire cycle, but the group behind him has shifted quite a bit over the course of the past year.

Below are the top 10 wideouts in the class:

1) Dakorien Moore – Oregon

Scouting Summary: “Skilled, athletic wide receiver who has separated himself as the top pass-catcher in the 2025 cycle. Possesses an extremely well-rounded skill set. Measured in at 5-foot-10 ⅞, 186 pounds with 31 ⅝-inch arms at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has very large hands for his size, at 10.25 inches. A dynamic track athlete, running a scintillating 10.40 second time in the 100 meters along with a long jump over 24 feet. Also tests well in the combine setting. Shows a refined and well-rounded skill set as a receiver both on Friday nights and in the camp setting. Harnesses his great top end speed with change of direction and lateral agility, making for consistent separation. Has the long speed to separate deep and take the top off of defenses. Shifty after the catch and uses his field vision to find open space, sometimes cutting back across the field. Ferocious ball-winner at the catch point, using his bounce and strong hands to consistently come down with jump balls. Plays much bigger than his size and has a large catch radius. Highly productive as a junior, while leading his team to a second straight state title in Texas’ largest classification, catching 69 passes for 1,486 yards (21.5 yards per catch) and 18 touchdowns. Does not have prototypical size as an outside receiver, but has the athleticism and skills to compensate. Looks like an immediate impact player and one with a high long-term ceiling.”

2) Quincy Porter – Ohio State

Scouting Summary: “Technician with translatable size and one of the largest catch radiuses among 2025 wide receiver prospects. Savvy receiver who excels as a ball-winner and in contested situations and is tough after the catch. Measured in at over 6-foot-3, 200 pounds with 33.5-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands prior to his senior season. Grew over half an inch and added around 15 pounds as a junior. The top target and a very productive receiver for Bergen Catholic, one of the top high school programs in New Jersey. Has high-end ball skills that combine with his length to manifest in a large catch radius. Made some remarkable contested catches as a junior. Capable of extending to make one-handed grabs. Strong at the catch point and easily tracks the ball over his shoulder. Can work in every area of the field. Very crafty after the catch. Sets up blocks and has very good field vision. Fights hard when the ball is in his hands. Uses lateral agility to make defenders miss in space and shows strong balance in breaking tackles. Finished his junior season with 969 yards and 16 touchdowns on just 41 catches (23.6 yards per catch). Turned in three straight double-digit touchdown seasons to end his varsity career. Ran track for the first time in three years as a junior and posted a very good 11.12 second mark in the 100 meters. Can continue adding to his burst and crispness in his routes, but looks to be one of the cycle’s top outside receivers with considerable high-end potential in college football and beyond.”

3) Talyn Taylor – Georgia

Scouting Summary: “Arguably the most technically skilled wide receiver prospect in the 2025 cycle with a high-end combination of route-running and ball skills. Measured at 6-foot-0.5, 175 pounds with arms in the 31.5 to 32-inch range prior to his senior season. A naturally coordinated, functional athlete. Has outstanding change of direction and projects as a dangerous route-runner. Very good burst off the line of scrimmage. Shifts gears at a high level. Hits the brakes and gets corners off balance. Lethal on comeback routes and double moves. Has elite pace in his routes and with the ball in his hands. Shows strong hands at the catch point. Comes down with impressive high-point grabs in the 7-on-7 setting. Good feel for finding openings against zone coverage. Crafty after the catch, slipping and spinning out of tackles.Exploded as a senior, turning in one of the best individual seasons nationally at the position. Doubled his yardage per game from his junior season. Finished with over 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns while leading his team to the 6A state title game. A standout in neutral settings – camps and 7-on-7. Shows a competitive play personality. Physical and competitive as a blocker, playing hard even if the ball doesn’t come his way.”

4) Jerome Myles – Texas A&M

Scouting Summary: “The most athletically-gifted wide receiver in the 2025 cycle. An athletic marvel of a prospect with a unique combination of elite size, athleticism and skill but has missed large chunks of his prep career with injuries. Measured in at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds prior to his senior season. One of the fastest prospects in the 2025 cycle. Posted absolutely scintillating marks in the 100 meters (10.36) and 200 meters (20.84) as a junior en route to state titles in both events. Broke a long-standing state record in the 100 meters. Carries that athleticism over to the field. Looked like a five-star talent at the beginning of his senior season, lighting up powerhouse IMG Academy for multiple touchdowns. Capable of winning in every area of the field. Has the speed to blow by defenders as a deep threat. Torched one-on-one coverage as an outside target. Draws safety attention with his mere presence. Has a solid release package and easily stacks corners off the line of scrimmage. Shows very good ball tracking ability. Strong hands at the catch point. Has the ability to win in jump ball situations. Flashed outstanding physicality and ability to pick up yardage after the catch as a senior. Dangerous in the screen game and working on crossing routes. Dominant perimeter blocker. Takes pride in that role and consistently bodies corners in the run game. Missed most of his varsity career with injuries, adding questions to his overall evaluation.”

5) Kaliq Lockett – Texas

Scouting Summary: “Long-limbed pass-catcher with a large catch radius and functional movement skills. Measured in at 6-foot-1.5, 175 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has elite length and a big frame, with arms that measure 33.5 inches to go with 10.25-inch hands. Shows the ability to win at every level on Friday nights and in the camp setting. Stacks cornerbacks off the line of scrimmage with his initial burst and releases. Offers the movement skills of a smaller wide receiver with the catch radius and high-point ability of a jumbo pass-catcher. Shows shake and good play speed to separate within his routes. Plays with a high level of technical ability. Catches with good technique, using his hands to frame the football. Shows acrobatic in-air ability with the wherewithal to out-jump defenders in contested situations. Also flashes high level tracking skills. Turned in a strong junior season, hauling in 59 catches for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns. Production took a dip as a senior as he finished with 625 yards and seven touchdowns on 47 catches. Will need to continue filling out his frame. Top end speed looks to be solid, but can be improved.”

6) Dallas Wilson – Florida

Scouting Summary: “Twitchy wide receiver with the ability to win at the catch point and some of the best after-catch ability in the cycle. Measured in at 6-foot-2.75, 193 pounds with 32.5-inch arms and 10-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. A good athlete who runs well in the combine setting.

Physical and flashes strong hands at the catch point. Attacks the ball in high-point situations. Outstanding after the catch. Sticks his foot in the ground and gets upfield quickly. Has great contact balance and breaks arm tackles. Dangerous when working underneath and over the middle of the field. Caught 49 passes for 879 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior. Will need to continue adding polish to his game. Projects as a versatile X receiver with the ability to threaten all areas of the field.”

7) Caleb Cunningham – Ole Miss

Scouting Summary: “Bouncy outside receiver with the upside to become a skilled ball-winner. Measured at a shade 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with 32-inch arms and 9-inch hands prior to his senior season. Moves well at his size on film. Shows the ability to come down with catches in contested situations. Hangs in the air to come down with acrobatic grabs. Naturally coordinated and can locate the football at its highest point. Also shows some ability to make defenders miss after the catch. Increased his production as a junior, catching 48 passes for 1,138 yards and 14 touchdowns. Production tailed off a bit as a senior. Doubles as a fantastic high school basketball player, who has perhaps the best dunk reel among 2025 football prospects. Lives above the rim, throwing down electric dunks with regularity. Has considerable natural ability but will need to hone his technical skill at the position over the final few years of high school football, including expanding his route tree. Older for the cycle, turning 19 years-old as a senior. Has considerable upside with continued technical development.”

8) Joshua Moore – Miami

Scouting Summary: “High upside pass catcher with the traits to become a high-end X receiver. One of the most physically imposing top wide receivers in the 2025 cycle. Measured at around 6-foot-4, 205 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position. Has the frame to top out at 220+ once he gets in a college strength program. Moves like a much smaller player. Shows the ability to stack corners off the line of scrimmage. Can gear down and drop his weight within his routes. Runs well and has the ability to separate vertically. Size, length and vertical bounce give him a large catch radius when his technique is aligned. Flashes body control in contested situations. Capable of coming down with fantastic one-handed grabs. Physical and tough to bring down after the catch. Totaled close to 1,900 yards and 20 touchdowns between his sophomore and junior seasons. Will have to improve the finer points to his game with route-running and overall technique. Can improve catching cleanly with proper technique. Allows the ball to get into his body at times. One of the youngest top wide receivers in the 2025 cycle, turning 17 years-old in April of his junior year. Developmental projection at receiver with a very high ceiling with continued development.”

9) Travis Smith – Tennessee

Scouting Summary: “Jump ball maven capable of eye-popping acrobatic grabs. Measured in at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position with 33 inch arms to go with 9.5-inch hands. Emerged on the national radar with a breakout early beginning to his junior season. Has outstanding ball skills and a very large catch radius. Made great catches while facing top competition as a junior. Elite body control and can hang in the air. Comes down with catches that many others couldn’t. Climbs the ladder to elevate for difficult grabs over the middle of the field. High level ball tracker. Fluid mover with solid change of direction. Physical and fights through contact after the catch. Finished his junior season with 48 catches for 896 yards and 10 touchdowns. Needs to improve top end speed to aid in downfield separation. More of a 4.7 type with his fastest wind-legal 100-meter time being an 11.69. Can improve hand strength at the catch point as gets some attempts dislodged by defensive backs. A very good contested catch and possession target who could develop into much more with an improved top gear.”
