Where the top WRs in the 2026 class are committed ahead of National Signing Day

With exactly a week to go until National Signing Day, 47 of the nation’s top 50 wide receivers are committed to a college program.

And while we’ll certainly see some of those pledges changes with the coaching carousel just getting started, it’s expected that the vast majority of those 47 will remain exactly where they are. This year’s crop of pass-catchers is exceptionally deep, with more than 60 checking in as blue-chip (4- and 5-star) prospects.

Below, Rivals breaks down the top 25 players at the position and where they’re currently committed:

1. 5-star Chris Henry Jr. – Ohio State

School: Mater Dei (Calif.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 7

Scouting Summary: “Jumbo receiver with a rare combination of size, athleticism, and coordination as a young prospect. Continued growing and adding size throughout his high school career, checking in at around 6-foot-5 and over 200 pounds going into his senior season. Has good length, with arms around 34 inches. Tests as a strong athlete with good speed at his size in the combine setting. Flashes functional movement skills at his size, showing the ability to sink his hips and change direction with ease. Touts good ball skills and catch radius. Tracks the ball over his shoulder and can win in jump ball situations. Sustained a season-ending knee injury as a junior, missing most of the year. Heading into his senior season, his production is below average for a top wide receiver prospect. Has a strong pedigree as the son of the late NFL wide receiver Chris Henry. Will need to capitalize on more extensive reps and continue developing, but has a very high physical upside.”

2. 5-star Tristen Keys – Tennessee

School: Hattiesburg (Miss.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 11

Scouting Summary: “Contested catch maven who looks like the top wide receiver prospect early in the 2026 cycle. Has good size, measuring at ver 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with good length as a junior. Turned in a strong junior campaign, catching 58 passes for 1,275 yards and 14 touchdowns while leading his team to a deep playoff run. Excels in contested catch situations, elevating to come down with acrobatic grabs. Hangs in the air and is able to contort his body into favorable positions. Displays a huge catch radius, high-pointing the football and coming down with one-handed grabs. High-level ball tracker with the ability to locate and corral the ball over his shoulder. Shows some route-running nuance. Has some shake off the line of scrimmage and is able to stack corners with his releases. Runs hard after the catch. Able to attack all areas of the field with his well-rounded skill set. Made some huge plays in big contests as a junior. Also a star on the 7-on-7 circuit before his junior season. Good marks in track and field in the high jump (6-0 feet) and triple jump (43-2 feet). Also plays basketball. Can continue improving his top-end speed.”

3. 5-star Jalen Lott – Oregon

School: Panther Creek (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 27

Scout’s Take: “One of the most explosive athletes in the entire class, Jalen Lott has proven as a senior that he’s one of the most dynamic pass catchers in the cycle. The Oregon commit stands in at 6 feet, 170-plus pounds, Lott has absurd athletic ability. A former National Junior Olympian, Lott has personal bests of 6-foot-10 in the high jump, nearly 24-foot-4 in the long jump and 10.99 in the 100m. You see the track and field athleticism shine on the football field in his route running and with the ball in his hands.

… Lott’s explosiveness and change of direction is electric. He separates from defenders at every level of the field and has the ability to go up and attack the football as good as anyone in the country. He needs to continue his polish as a route runner, but with his strong hands and top-tier athletic ability Lott’s ceiling is borderline unlimited.” – Cody Bellaire, Rivals National Scout

4. Boobie Feaster – USC

School: DeSoto (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 38

High School Recap: Playing for state traditional state powerhouse DeSoto, Feaster was a breakout star as a sophomore. He caught 57 passes for 824 yards (14.5 YPC) and 13 touchdowns while helping the Eagles reach quarterfinals of the 6A D-II state playoffs. He also opted to move from the Class of 2027 to 2026 in hopes of getting a jump-start on his college career. Through 11 games as a senior, he’s up to 57 catches, 1,163 receiving yards and 12 scores — averaging better than 20 yards per catch.

5. Cederian Morgan – Alabama

School: Benjamin Russell (Ala.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 44

Scouting Summary: “One of the freakier jumbo athletes at wide receiver in the 2026 cycle. Has a large, well-built frame, standing at around 6-foot-3.5 and weighing 220 pounds. Has elite length with arms that measure over 34 inches. Has the body of an NFL player as a high school prospect. Tests as a very good athlete in the combine setting and runs well at his size on the track with an 11.19-second time in the 100 meters. Uses his big body, long arms, and coordination to impose his will on defenders at the high school level. Plays like a bully in contested catch situations and shows the ability to high-point and track the football. Dangerous when he can box out defensive backs. Shows good ability after the catch, especially when he has a runway to get to top speed. Finished his junior season with 70 catches for 1,162 yards and 14 touchdowns. Standout multi-sport athlete who rocks the rim with powerful dunks on the basketball court. A state silver medalist in the high jump with a leap of 6-8 feet. Can continue improving his quickness and initial burst to better separate within his routes. Did much of his damage as a junior working as a big slot wide receiver, taking advantage of free releases. Has considerable upside given his physical gifts and coordination.”

6. Somourian Wingo – Miami

School: St. Augustine (Saint Augustine, FL)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 47

Scout’s Take: Wingo stands out as one of the premier yards-after-catch threats in this class. Every time the ball finds his hands, he’s a legitimate scoring threat. As a runner, Wingo plays like a tank. His powerful leg drive and sudden change of direction allows him to tear through arm tackles and shake defenders in tight spaces with remarkable consistency. On top of that, he boasts some of the strongest hands in the cycle and is a natural playmaker above the rim. His ability to elevate and haul in acrobatic catches is striking. You see flashes of it under the Friday night lights, but his basketball background shows the same traits even more vividly. His bounce and explosiveness as a dunker translate seamlessly to the football field, making it easy to understand why he’s so dominant in contested situations. Wingo’s improvement though in his burst and ability to change gears made him an obvious rankings riser as a senior prospect.” — Cody Bellaire, National Scout

7. Calvin Russell – Syracuse

School: Northwestern (Fla.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 52

High School Recap: The 6-foot-5, 195-pound Russell does it all at the high school level, playing quarterback and wide receiver. And that’s not to mention the fact that he was a Division I basketball talent with multiple high-major offers there as well. During his senior campaign, Russell has 15 of 19 passes for 368 yards and four touchdowns at quarterback. As a receiver, he has hauled in 25 catches for 390 yards and five more scores.

8. Naeem Burroughs – Clemson

School: The Bolles School (Fla.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 61

Scouting Summary: “Ultra-dynamic pass catcher that is a three-level receiver who separates from defenders in his route running and after the catch due to his hyper-athleticism. Verified 5-foot-10.5, 185 pounds with over 10-inch hands. Ridiculous top-end speed running 10.64 in the 100m and 22.41 in the 100m during his junior track season. Dominant in space with the ball in his hands, extremely difficult to bring down in the open field due to his elusiveness. Strong hands, able to attack the football and pluck the football away from his frame confidently. Caught 33 passes for 829 yards for an impressive 25 yards per catch as a junior. Also scored 12 receiving touchdowns. Needs to continue to get stronger and add mass while maintaining his top-tier athletic ability. Has the ability to be a dynamic number one receiver at the next level despite being on the shorter end of wide receiver prospects due to his tremendous ball skills and movement skills.”

9. Jase Mathews – Auburn

School: Greene County (Miss.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 64

Scouting Summary: “Skilled wide receiver who could push as the top pass-catcher in the 2026 cycle. Has a big frame that belies the eye test, measuring in at around 6-foot-1.5, 195 pounds with 33-inch arms and 10-inch hands. Registers as a plus athlete in the combine setting. Operates with a high level of skill on Friday nights and in the camp setting. Shows the ability to create separation at every level. Stacks defenders off the line of scrimmage and has considerable shake within his routes. Flashes a large catch radius, leaving his feet to extend for remarkable grabs. A ball-winner in contested catch situations, showing body control and strong hands. Finished his junior season with 68 catches for 1,138 yards and 15 touchdowns in 10 games. Also plays basketball. Did much of his damage out of the slot as a junior, but showed the ability to win on the outside in the camp setting. The high level of skill and well-rounded nature to his game makes him one of the top pass-catchers in the cycle and one who could project as an early-round draft pick.”

10. Davian Groce – Florida

School: Lone Star (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 67

High School Recap: Groce is a Swiss army knife at the prep level. He finished his junior campaign with 687 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns. As a receiver, Groce was just as impressive, catching 43 passes for 702 yards and another scores touchdowns. He also added another three touchdowns on special teams (1 on punt return, 2 on kick return). As a senior, he became one of the state’s premier big-play threats, hauling in 33 passes for 805 yards (24.4 YPC) and 10 touchdowns.

A starter since his freshman year, Groce has amassed more than 5,500 all-purpose yards and 451 touchdowns in his career.
