There may be a couple of elite receivers on this list, but Tetairoa McMillan doesn’t quite get the respect he deserves. He is one of the top recruits in the class, but somehow gets overlooked.

While Tetairoa may not be the highest-ranked receiver left on Oregon’s board for 2022, he is every bit as important as the No. 1 guy because they play two completely different roles. McMillan has more size at 6-3 and 185 pounds and Greg Biggins of 247Sports compares him to AJ Green while the top guy is more of a slot receiver.

While McMillan isn’t the fastest receiver, he’s still one of the most sure-handed guys in the class and is going to be a hit wherever he lands.

Couple him with the next guy on this list and you have one of the best 1-2 receiver combinations in the country which follows up an elite 1-2 punch from the 2021 cycle in Troy Franklin and Dont’e Thornton. This receiver room will be scary good if McMillan commits.

He’s ranked the No. 62 overall recruit and fifth-best receiver in the class.
