Already holding a pair of Pac-12 Conference offers, state's leading receiver sure to garner more attention after big junior campaign.

Xavier Jordan of Cathedral (Los Angeles) is California high school football's leader in receiving yardage with 1,179 yards on the year, according to statistics submitted to MaxPreps. The 6-foot, 160-pound junior has 51 receptions and 16 touchdowns.

In Jordan's most recent outing, he hauled in five passes for 90 yards and a score in a 22-16 win over St. Paul.
 
Already holding offers from Arizona, Colorado State, Hawaii and Washington, Jordan has gone over 200 yards receiving twice, including a season-high outing in which he caught 13 passes for 233 yards and three scores in a 48-39 loss to St. Francis earlier this month. The sure-handed receiver has gone over the century mark in receiving yards five times during a 6-2 start for the Phantoms.

Sitting just 47 yards behind Jordan is Modesto Christian (Modesto) junior Jeremiah Bernard, who now has 1,132 receiving yards on the year after reeling in six passes for 120 yards and a touchdown in a 30-6 win over Livingston last weekend. The only other California receiver to reach 1,100 yards receiving this fall, Bernard has gone over the century mark in receiving yards seven times for the 6-3 Crusaders.

Scott Nixon of Sheldon (Sacramento) now has a third-best 1,097 yards receiving after hauling in 10 passes for 303 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-17 win over Davis last weekend. The 6-2, 200-pound senior displayed his versatility by running 29 times for 230 yards and three scores to go along with four catches for 63 yards and another touchdown in a 49-21 win over Franklin in September.

Griffin Addison of Camarillo  and Judah Douglas of Temple City round out the top five with 1,075 and 1,069 yards, respectively.
