High school football: Donte Ferrell of Ohio tops list of national receiving yardage leaders

According to statistics reported to MaxPreps, Ohio is home to two of high school football's top three receivers in terms of yardage this season.

At the top of the list is Woodward (Cincinnati, Ohio) junior Donte Ferrell, who brought his season total to 839 yards after hauling in nine passes for 158 yards and a touchdown in a 38-22 win against Bourbon County (Ky.) last week. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound pass-catcher has eclipsed 200 yards twice including a 280-yard performance against Bethel-Tate earlier this month for the 3-1 Bulldogs.

Trey Rose of Milford (Utah) has caught fire this year with 773 receiving yards and three multi-touchdown games for the 4-1 Tigers. Owen Winter of Southern Huntingdon County (Three Springs, Pa.) is another receiver to keep an eye on. The 6-0 senior has played in just three games and is No. 6 on the list with 684 yards. He started the season by going off for 323 receiving yards and he nearly repeated that performance the following week with 317 yards.
