Wyatt Young

Dean Kindig

#1 in Y/RR in CFB; (Skyler Bell was #4, Makai Lemon was #5). Former high school quarterback who relies heavily on his shiftiness, elite route-running precision, and ability to manipulate defenders to create yards after the catch. These traits are highly coveted in a modern NFL slot role.

Nyck Harbor

Dean Kindig

3-99 (33.0) vs VaTech in 2025 scouted games, 3 for 45 (15) vs Mizzou,. "My ball" mentality is Keon with more size and world-class speed. The downfield speed and sheer size of Harbor is worth considering if he makes it to late RD2. He reeled off three deep-ball catches for 99 yards (33.0 ypr) vs VaTech, then 3 for 45 (15.0) vs Mizzou. I want a Keon with more size and world-class speed, and that's Nyck. He's the only player to be ranked No. 1 on Bruce Feldman's annual "Freaks List" two years in a row, and he's brains and brawn: 2024 CSC Academic All-District, 2023-24 SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll. Harbor was invited to the 2024 USA track & field Olympic trials, but did not compete in the 2025 indoor season to focus on football. I have him as the highest-ceiling receiver in the top 100, as Harbor continues to learn the position and gain experience. He is already one of the best blockers in the WR class. Undisclosed injury that required him to go to the hospital after the Texas A&M game and caused him to miss the game against Coastal Carolina. He was observed in warmups and was on track to play in the final game of the season against Clemson.
