This Dawg Report handle comes up with kids I've never heard of before, and I TBS fairly regularly.
24/7 shows him as a Duke commit but Crystal Ball lock for UW.

6-5, 200, 60 catches, 16 TD.

Watching the first half of his Hudl, big receiver. He doesn't look terribly fast, but then in open field he's pulling away from everyone. Most of the the time double covered.

Sure, a class of all WRs will certainly be the fastest class in the country. Well done.
can he block?
does he have feces in his throat?
This kid is really big. We saw him this past summer. This would be a good pick up is UW can get him. Check out the footage
He's got a great catch radius and what is impressive is that he appears to be as adept at going up for the ball as he is going down to the ground.
IOW, no matter what he did, Michael Irvin was never going to be faster than Deion Sanders. But he didn't have to be.
So this kid needs to just continue developing hands and learning how to be a big receiver. How to use his body, run routes, etc. Watch lots of tape of Harold Carmichael and Michael Irvin. Not Calvin Johnson, because he's actually fast.
And when it comes to playing WR, it's even less about how fast you are as much as it is your quickness, route-running, and in particular, the ability to run routes without ever having to have a noticeable change in speed going into/out of cuts.
