Video: Tylan Wallace - Ultimate HighlightsWith the spread offense now so popular with Texas high school coaches, high-profile wide receivers find themselves even more in demand. Here is a look at some of some of Texas‘ wide receivers with a chance to put up big receiving numbers in 2016:
1. Tylan Wallace, South Hills (Fort Worth), 6-foot-1, 175 pounds
With twin brother Tracin doing the throwing, the Oklahoma State pledge had 59 receptions for 1,459 yards and 20 touchdowns last year.
2. Ceedee Lamb, Foster (Richmond), 6-3, 180
Coming off a 1,000-yard, 11-touchdown season, the Oklahoma commit is primed for even better numbers as a senior.
3. Mannie Netherly, Crosby, 6-2, 174
By exceeding 1,000 yards with 18 touchdowns in 2015, Netherly drew the attention of many FBS programs and eventually committed to LSU.

The oral commit to Texas A&M turned 35 catches into 515 yards and six touchdowns last fall.
5. Damion Miller, Tyler, 6-1, 193
A junior season that included 41 catches for 912 yards and nine touchdowns ultimately led to his verbal commitment to Texas.

This angular Alabama commit registered 53 catches for 1,081 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior.
7. Cade Green, Lake Travis (Austin), 5-11, 185
The Wisconsin pledge helped the Cavaliers reach the 6A-DII title game last season by catching 51 passes for 813 yards.

In his first season under former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, this Oklahoma commit notched 13 touchdowns and 1,110 receiving yards.
9. Sam Crawford, Rockwall, 6-1, 190
Yellowjackets coach Rodney Webb knows how to get the ball to his big-play specialists, and last season Crawford finished with 77 catches for 1,436 yards and 18 touchdowns.
