With the 2024 Ohio high school football season upon us, it’s time to take a look at some of the state’s highest-rated recruits. In this series, we’ll focus on the top recruits at a handful of positions for a specific graduating class.
We started with the senior quarterbacks, senior running backs, senior linebackers and senior edge rushers. Now we’re going back to the offensive side of the ball and looking at the best wide receivers in Ohio’s class of 2025.
The class’s top receiver – Quintin Simmons Jr. of Withrow, who committed to Kentucky – is now the No. 1 target in its offense after his running mate Chris Henry Jr. transferred to Mater Dei (Calif.). Kentucky also signed the class’ No. 4 wide receiver, Preston Bowman of Pickerington North.
The only uncommitted wide receiver in the top five is Jackson Wiley of Olentangy, the son of former Ohio State running back Michael Wiley.
All rankings are based on 247Sports.com.
