College Football Recruiting 2013: Breaking Down the Top WRs in the Rivals 100

As we continue on in our examination of the Rivals 100 board, we arrive at wide receivers. Likely the most riskiest and boom-or-bust position in football, you either score big or lose hard when getting a WR.

With so many teams throwing the football, and with the passing game so sophisticated these days, getting a top flight WR can be a huge deal for an offense. For this 2013 class, there are some talented pass-catchers.

Here are the top WRs in the Rivals 100.

10. DeMarcus Robinson

Ranked No. 97 on the Rivals board, Robinson is a 6'2", 200-pound WR from Georgia. Robinson uses his size very well, but really his biggest asset is his route-running ability.

He shows great body control, fails to round off his cuts and can set up defenders with subtle wiggles, separation quickness and great hands.

Watch out for Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Auburn.

9. Jake Oliver

Talk about being productive—Oliver hauled in 108 catches for over 1,600 yards and 23 TDs as a junior alone. He's a Dallas native and stands 6'4", 194 pounds. 

Oliver is not a burner, but he'll catch everything that is thrown his way and reminds me a bit of former UCLA receiver Danny Farmer. He can catch in a crowd and will run crisp routes.

Oliver is committed to Texas.

8. Ahmad Fulwood

Fulwood, from Florida, is a classic build-up receiver at 6'4" and a bit over 190 pounds. I mean that in the sense of he won't wow you with release quickness, but he can build up speed off the line, eat up cushion and then get on top of a defense.

He's a lean and long deep threat who runs with a smooth and fluid motion. Fulwood's size will allow him to be a solid red-zone threat, and he'll get behind more than a couple secondaries.

The top seven includes Alabama, USC, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Ohio State and Arkansas.

7. Steven Mitchell

Mitchell is a 5'10", 180-pounder who compares to Bryce Treggs and Sterling Shepard. He's quicker than fast, and I think works at best in the slot.

However, he's the type of player where you just need to get him the ball, be it on smoke screens, lining him up as an RB or whatever, because he has excellent elusiveness with the ball.

Notre Dame, UCLA and Washington have offered.

6. Stacy Coley

Coley's stats of 33 receptions, 556 yards and seven touchdowns are not that impressive, but he's still considered one of the top players in the South and ranks No. 45 on the Rivals board.

He reminds me of Shaq Roland, as he's a lean yet speedy perimeter player who is just scratching the surface of his talent. Coley's speed is among the elite; he can blow by cover corners and is a very good RAC player.

I'd be shocked if he didn't end up at Florida at some point. 

5. Laquon Treadwell

Treadwell tore up Illinois prep competition as a junior, catching 75 balls for over 1,400 yards and 18 TDs. He's 6'3", just about 185 pounds and can play on the flanks with the best of 'em.

Treadwell doesn't allow himself to get bullied at the line, relishes press coverage and will snatch the football out of the air and look to create a big play after the catch.

Watch out for Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Illinois and Michigan.

4. Robert Foster

Foster is the No. 26 player in the nation, according to Rivals, and stands 6'3", 170 pounds. He's from Pennsylvania and is incredibly explosive.

Foster has natural receiving skills, a good-sized catch radius and will be an excellent RAC player in college. He's similar to Stefon Diggs.

He's got 23 offers and schools like Penn State, Ohio State, Florida, Oregon, Clemson, Rutgers and Pitt are showing him the most love.

3. Marquez North

North's stats clearly indicate he's fast and a prime deep threat, as he caught just 39 balls but went for over a 1,000 yards and 19 TDs. So it shows you that he didn't catch many passes, but when he did, they are deep plays.

North stands at 6'3", weighs 205 pounds and hails from Charlotte. He reminds me of a more polished Ricardo Louis.

Ohio State, UNC, NC State, Clemson and Georgia are just a few to name. 

2. Derrick Griffin

Rivals ranks Griffin at No. 19 in the country, as the 6'6", 215-pounder is one of the top prospects in Texas for 2013. He's a big WR who dares CBs to press him and has good strength to combat it.

He's got solid speed, but is even better in RAC situations. Griffin can high-point balls, terrorize a secondary in the red zone and could even develop into a TE.

Griffin is committed to Texas A&M.

1. Ricky Seals-Jones

Seals-Jones takes the top spot to start the year as the No. 1 WR prospect in America for 2013, per Rivals. He's 6'5", 220 pounds and plays QB and safety right now.

However, in college he'll become a WR and maybe even a TE. He's a very good athlete, has good play speed and the length to snatch balls all around his frame.

Seals-Jones is committed to Texas.
