Top wide receiver signees in the 2025 class

Forty-nine of the top 50 wide receivers in the 2025 recruiting class — according to the On3 Industry Ranking — have now signed with a college program.

Of the top 10 wideouts in the class, two schools managed to double up with a pair of elite signees.

Below are where the top wide receiver prospects in the 2025 cycle signed earlier this month:

1. Dakorien Moore — Oregon

School: Duncanville (Texas)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 4 NATL.

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. Dallas Wilson — Oregon

School: Tampa Bay Tech (Fla.)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 19 NATL.

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. Shows a well-rounded skill set on Friday nights. A functional athlete who has a noticeable bounce in his movement. Shows quick feet with the ability to cut on a dime. 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.”

3. Caleb Cunningham — Ole Miss

School: Ackerman (Miss.) Choctaw County
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 21 NATL.

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.”

4. Jerome Myles — Texas A&M

School: West Jordan (Utah) Corner Canyon
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 24 NATL.

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. Sustained a knee injury just a few games into his senior season. Must obviously need to stay healthy to tap into his extremely high upside. Will also need to add to his route tree. One of the youngest players in the 2025 cycle, turning just 17 years-old a month before his freshman season of college.Could end up as the top wide receiver prospect from the cycle if he’s able to stay healthy and continue developing his game.”

5. Talyn Taylor — Georgia

School: Geneva Community (Ill.)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 28 NATL.

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. Offers inside-out versatility with his skill set. Needs to continue developing physically adding mass to his frame and continuing to improve his top-end speed. The high level of skill and elite production makes him one of the top receivers in the 2025 cycle and a prospect with a high floor at the college and potentially NFL level.”

6. Kaliq Lockett — Texas

School: Sachse (Texas)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 30 NATL.

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.”

7. Jaime Ffrench — Texas

School: Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 35 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “Savvy, productive receiver who offers scheme versatility and a well-rounded skill set. Measured at 6-foot-0 ⅞,, 184 pounds with 32-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Lines up in the slot and out wide for his high school. Notched 62 catches for 1,247 yards and 14 touchdowns on a state finalist as a junior. Shows wiggle off the line of scrimmage. Adept at attacking the intermediate area of the field. Lethal on back shoulder fades. Has high-level body control and is able to twist his body in air while high-pointing the ball.

…Shows flashes of high-end ball skills, making one-handed grabs in camps and 7-on-7s. Tests as a solid athlete in the combine setting. Can improve initial burst and play speed. Will need to clean up drops as he can lose focus and catch with improper hand placement at times. Will need to make strides athletically and with consistency to be a true number one wideout long-term, but has a translatable skill set with his ability to attack the intermediate area and should be considered a high floor prospect as a possession target.”

8. Quincy Porter — Ohio State

School: Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 41 NATL.

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.”

9. Vernell Brown III — Florida

School: Orlando (Fla.) Jones
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 45 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “Skilled wideout with arguably the best after-catch ability in the cycle. Measured at 5-foot-10.5, 173 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior year. Has a 29.75-inch arm and 9-inch hand. Registers as a plus athlete in track and field, running a personal best of 10.91 seconds in the 100 meters as a junior. Owns a well-rounded skill set with the ability to threaten all three levels of the field. Very loose and fluid in his movements. Has excellent lower body flexibility. Stacks corners off the line of scrimmage. A skilled route-runner with considerable shake. Shows the ability to separate vertically. Truly dynamic with the ball in his hands. Has phenomenal vision in the open field. Slippery and shows high-level contact balance. Confident and assertive in space. Transfers over to the return game, where he has a case as the best return man in the cycle.

…Shows strong ball skills for a smaller wideout. Plucks the ball with his fingertips and shows flashes of high-point ability. Great body control. Leaves his feet to make diving grabs. Turned in a strong junior season, with 1,363 receiving yards (19.4 yards per catch) and 10 touchdowns to go with 4 touchdowns on returns. Highly competitive in every setting. A three-phase playmaker, also playing on defense. Has a smaller frame that could limit his catch radius and play strength as the competition level increases. Runs well, but can continue adding to his top gear to maximize his skill set. A high-floor prospect who likely projects as a slot first wideout with the potential to develop into a versatile option capable of lining up all over the formation.”

10. Travis Smith — Tennessee

School: Atlanta Westlake
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 71 NATL.

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.”
