This is a continuing series with The Republic examining each position leading up to the 2024 Arizona high school football season. We’ve ranked the top 10 quarterbacks and running backs. Today, we examine the top 10 wide receivers.
This is a stacked group with so many air-raid offenses taking over the high school landscape. As much as Arizona has become a quarterback state, there is an influx of talented wide receivers who have already burst onto the scene. This was really hard to cut down to 10.
The Republic’s Top 10 wide receivers
1. Cooper Perry, Scottsdale Notre Dame, 6-2, 190, Sr.
Notre Dame Prep Saints wide receiver Cooper Perry (10) carries the ball against the Brophy Prep Broncos during a game played at Notre Dame Prep in Scottsdale on Sept. 22, 2023.

One of the best wide receivers in the nation, he’s been Notre Dame’s big-play, go-to receiver since his sophomore year when he broke out with 78 catches for 1,100 yards and 20 TDs on an 11-2 team.
