Inside Texas previews the decision for the Show Me State standout.
The player: Ryan Wingo, St. Louis (Mo.) University High
The measurables: 6-foot-1.5, 210 pounds
The date: Wednesday, October 25 at 4:00 p.m. on the 247Sports YouTube channel
The rating: 96.67 (five-star)
The ranking: Wingo is ranked as the No. 26 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 7 wide receiver and the No. 2 player in the state of Missouri.
The evaluation: Wingo is an elite athlete with pretty rare proportions for a wide receiver. At about 6-foot-2 and 210 while still in high school, he’s the sort that would have played running back in most eras and quarterback for most teams today. But he plays receiver so his fluidity and long speed have already been put to work in executing double moves and various route running skills. With a 10.64 100m time to his name Wingo has deep threat speed and is clearly very comfortable playing like a Xavier Worthy type, moving around in space and torching people with pure speed. He could play at any receiver position, and probably will before he’s done as his team moves him around to find matchups. He could probably also play anywhere in the secondary including cornerback. The interesting dynamic to his game to monitor will be how well he uses his size to play up on the line of scrimmage in the boundary against a press-cornerback. There’s good reason to believe he could be very good at it and be a deep threat who commands a safety over the top at all times, either freeing up teammates or getting moved around so he can get involved. – Ian Boyd
