Texas High has had a number of wide receivers who have left their mark on the orange and white. It's impossible to limit this group to 5, but here we go.
5. Rian Cellars
Years: 2018-20
College: (Baseball)

Cellars spent time at quarterback, receiver and punter during his time at T-High, but it was his huge senior year that plants him on this 5 spot ahead of players like Cobi Hamilton and Kobi Webster. Cellars had 1,113 receiving yards for 15 touchdowns in 2020. Cellars is as explosive as they come and is a monster after the catch and he's one of the more exciting players to come from Texas High since Hampton.
