Many of the nation’s top prospects have already announced their college decisions. But some of the country’s best wide receivers are still undecided in their recruitment. Below are the top uncommitted wide receivers in the On3 Industry Ranking and where they are trending.
Five-Star Plus+ Micah Hudson
School: Temple (Texas) Lake Belton
On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM): 81.7% Texas Tech, 14.7% Texas
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 6
On3 NIL Valuation: $328K
Scouting Summary: “Micah Hudson is a dynamic playmaker that you can’t take your eyes off of when you turn on the tape. Can go up and high point the football with ease. Turns hitches, swings and screens into touchdowns. Will run over, through and around defenders with the ball in his hands. Has every tool in the bag when it comes to route running. Ran 11.54 in the 100m, 23.26 in the 200m and jumped a 21’01” long jump as a freshman. Advanced well beyond his years and is one of the best receivers in the nation, regardless of cycle.”
Five-star Mike Matthews
School: Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview
On3 RPM: 86.7% Tennessee, 4.7% Clemson, 3.5% Georgia
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 14
On3 NIL Valuation: $277K
Scouting Summary: “Mike Matthews is a two-way playmaker with elite ball skills who has blossomed into one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2024 cycle. Measured at 6-foot-0.5, 185 pounds with a 6-foot-6 wing span prior to his junior season. Lines up at both receiver and safety for Parkview High. Pairs that length with advanced coordination and hands to result in a considerable catch radius. Catches the ball away from his body and has shown the ability to win in contested situations on Friday nights and in 7-on-7 settings. A bouncy athlete who doubles as a standout basketball player in high school and on the AAU circuit. Still developing as a route-runner, but is showing progress as a junior. One of the top overall prospects from the state of Georgia regardless of class.”
Five-star Ryan Wingo
School: Saint Louis (Mo.) University
On3 RPM: 34% Texas, 19.3% Tennessee, 14.7% Notre Dame, 12% Georgia
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 24
On3 NIL Valuation: $229K
Scouting Summary: “Ryan Wingo is an electric playmaker who picks up yards in a hurry. Ran a 10.64 100m, 21.46 200m and a 50.72 400m in 2022. The ability to defeat the angle with the ball in his hands is among the best in the 2024 cycle early on. Can take the top off of defenses with ease but is not just a straight-line player. His ability to make defenders miss in tight spaces and finish runs is rare for someone with his long speed. Has a chance to be an impact player at the next level. Older brother is former Arkansas running back Ronnie Wingo.”
Four-star Gatlin Bair
School: Burley (Idaho)
On3 RPM: 71.9% Michigan, 9.2% Oregon, 6% TCU
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 39
On3 NIL Valuation: $167K
Scouting Summary: “Gatlin Bair is one of the top overall athletes in the 2024 cycle who is the nation’s fastest football prospect on the track. Has unverified size, listed at around 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. Looks like the nation’s fastest football prospect during his junior track season. Consistently ran scintillating times. Won the state title in the 100 and 200 meters with remarkable 10.15-second and 20.56-second marks. Transfers that top-end speed to the gridiron. Shows the ability to blow by corners as a deep threat on vertical routes. Also flashes speed after the catch with the ball in his hands. Eliminates angles and beats defenders to the edge. Also a dangerous return man. Works on the outside and over the middle of the field. Can track the ball over his shoulder. Finished his junior season with 73 catches for 1,073 yards and 18 touchdowns. Shows the considerable twitch and bounce on the basketball court where his above-the-rim athleticism shows on alley-oops and dunks in transition.Can improve his fluidity and polish as a route-runner as well as his comfort as a pass catcher. Averaged 14.7 yards per catch, which is on the low end among blue-chip receivers and top draft picks, especially considering his weaker-than-average competition. Reportedly plans to take an LDS mission following high school, postponing his college enrollment for two years.”
