Top Five
1. David Cormier, Sr, WR, Volcano Vista HS (Albuquerque, NM). Well-built as a wide receiver with the size and height he also explodes in the open field. Cormier, has had a solid summer showing at camps along with the passing league last week. The Volcano Vista Hawks will be much improved and a dark horse next season. Cormier caught for 770-yards last season along with reaching the end zone 7 times.
2. Gavin Swinson, Sr, WR, Mayfield HS (Las Cruces, NM). Swinson, plays for one of the top programs in the state, they have another QB coming in that will be able to hit him and set him up. He caught for 1,200-yards last season and will look to mimic those numbers this season.
3. Alex Ramirez, Sr, WR, Alamogordo HS (Alamogordo, NM). Ramirez, could be in store for an even bigger year as the Tigers will be a heavy favorite as he teams up with a Top QB in the state. Ramirez, caught for 805-yards with 12 touchdown last season.
4. Brandon Baeza, Jr, WR, Las Cruces HS (Las Cruces, NM). The WR for the Bulldawgs could be in-store for one huge year after a huge sophomore campaign. Baeza, had 80-receptions for 1,380-yards for 12-touchdowns.
5. Cason Clay, Sr, WR, Hobbs HS (Hobbs, NM). Clay, is one of two featured receivers on this list for the Hobbs Eagles, they'll be one of the better cores returning and could look to lead the state as a team in receiving yards. Clay caught for 543-yards with 6-touchdowns last season.
The Rest
6. Aaron Compton, Sr, WR, Hobbs HS (Hobbs, NM). It's unclear who will start at QB for the Eagles but he is assured to get enough balls thrown his way. Compton, will be a WR that flies under the radar to start with a talented returning Wide Receiving core next season. In four games he had 3-touchdowns.
7. Junior Pena, Sr, WR, Centennial HS (Las Cruces, NM)
8. Dylan DiLorenzo, Sr, WR, St. Pius X (Albuquerque, NM)
9. Cade Hackey, Sr, WR, Hatch Valley HS (Hatch, NM)
10. Jake Rogers, Sr, WR, Navajo Prep (Farmington, NM): Caught for 1,097-yards
On The Radar
11. Deshawn Lee, Sr, WR, Hope Christian (Abq, NM): Seen him this summer - Hope's best player.
12. Johnathan Cabriales, Sr, WR, Raton HS (Raton, NM)
