The Bluegrass is chock-full of impressive prospects in the 2027 cycle and Paducah Tilghman<\/a> (Ky.) four-star wide receiver Cam Wade<\/a> is now one of the best.<\/p>\n

After accruing a slew of big-time offers, the 5-foot-11, 165-pounder has now whittled his list of top schools down to four: Florida State<\/a>, Louisville<\/a>, LSU<\/a> and Maryland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wade is the No. 235 overall prospect and No. 29 WR in the 2027 cycle, according to the\u00a0Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He\u2019s also the No. 5 recruit in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Last cycle, Louisville signed Paducah Tilghman four-star offensive tackle Jarvis Strickland<\/a>. The Cardinals have Vince Marrow<\/a> leading the charge for Wade and he continues to give the local ACC program a hard look.<\/p>\n

At the end of January, he was in Tallahassee to get a look at Florida State. He spent time around head coach Mike Norvell<\/a> and receivers coach Tim Harris Jr.<\/a> during the Seminoles\u2019 junior day weekend.<\/p>\n

As a junior for Tilghman, Wade hauled in 53 receptions and turned them into 821 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also returned two punts for scores and had a pair of pick-sixes on defense. Last season, the Blue Tornado went 14-2 and finished as the No. 15 team in the commonwealth, per the Rivals Composite Rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last spring, Wade, who was previously at East Nashville Magnet School<\/a> in Tennessee, emerged as a top pass-catcher at Under Armour\u2019s Nashville camp. He drew high praise from Rivals\u2019 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t see a wide receiver create more separation than\u00a0Cam Wade<\/a>. The speedster stacked defensive backs off the line of scrimmage at will with a quick burst and wiggle off the line of scrimmage. Wade won the majority of 1-on-1 reps we saw him take. In most cases, the defensive back was completely out of phase early within the route. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder can continue improving his play strength, but the dynamic ability was on display.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bluegrass is chock-full of impressive prospects in the 2027 cycle and Paducah Tilghman (Ky.) four-star wide receiver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[1320,76584,232,234,233,76585],"class_list":{"0":"post-159740","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tallahassee","8":"tag-florida-state","9":"tag-paducah-tilghman","10":"tag-tallahassee","11":"tag-tallahassee-headlines","12":"tag-tallahassee-news","13":"tag-wade"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
