FINAL 2019 RANKINGS: Wide receivers | Tight ends
RIVALS RANKINGS WEEK
Monday: Top 10 revealed
Tuesday: Rivals100 released | Mind of Mike | New Five-Stars
Wednesday: Rivals250 released | Roundtable
Thursday: Position rankings released
TEAM WITH THE TOP SIGNEES: Oklahoma
Never in the history of Rivals has one team signed three five-star wide receivers. That alone gives Oklahoma this title even though Texas A&M, USC and Oregon have more wide receiver and tight end commits in the Rivals250.
Jadon Haselwood signing with the Sooners was a major coup for Lincoln Riley. Haselwood, the top-ranked receiver in the Rivals100 and a former Georgia commit, picked Oklahoma over the Dawgs and Miami. Theo Wease committed, decommitted and then recommitted to Oklahoma before ending the recruiting cycle as the No. 11 player in the country. Oklahoma’s third five-star commitment at wide receiver is Trejan Bridges and he never wavered on his commitment to the Sooners. Riley’s squad also signed four-star tight end Austin Stogner, the No. 11 tight end in the nation.
PROSPECT TO WATCH: George Pickens
Pickens has been committed to Auburn for a long time but he remains unsigned. He is expected to visit Georgia this weekend for an official visit and Florida State and Tennessee are also trying to get him for official visits. Auburn has been fighting off competitors for months as they try to keep Pickens in the fold, but the Dawgs feel pretty good about their chances right now.
TEAMS TO WATCH: Nebraska and Colorado
There are very few major recruits left for teams to fight over but Nebraska and Colorado have some big targets left. Scott Frost and his staff are zeroing in on Charles Njoku and Demariyon Houston. Njoku visited Nebraska this past weekend but also has a visit to UCLA coming up this weekend. Houston will be at Nebraska this weekend but is also planning on visiting Colorado the weekend right before Signing Day. The Buff are also bringing in a familiar name for a visit: La'Vontae Shenault. He is, of course, the younger brother of Colorado star Laviska Shenault.
