Today, we are taking a look at some of the outstanding wide receivers from the 2025 season in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Our eight nominees were electric playmakers who were a threat to take it the distance every time they got the ball in their hands. Along with their big play ability, these individuals were security blankets for their quarterbacks as they could secure a first down when called upon at any given moment.

The latter is also what separates the good receivers from the great receivers. Everyone loves the quick and fast wideout that can take a fly route 80 yards to the house, but elusiveness, route running and run blocking is what every team looks for, and our nominees posses these traits.

As always, we ask you, the fans, to vote for who you think is the High School on SI Palm Beach County, Florida high school wide receiver of the year.

Voting will close on January 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
