Up-and-Coming Receiver Deion Saunders: High School Football Highlights

January 2, 2026
Deion Saunders runs a 4.4 forty and posted 542 receiving yards as a junior at Mountain View High School in Georgia.

Deion Saunders stands 5-foot-7 and weighs 155 pounds. Those numbers might concern some recruiters until they see his 40-yard dash time: 4.4 seconds. The Mountain View High School receiver from Lawrenceville, Georgia, uses that speed to create separation that size cannot.

As a junior, Saunders caught passes for 542 yards and 5 touchdowns. His explosive plays come from outrunning defenders, not out-muscling them. With one more high school season ahead, he aims to put up numbers that force college programs to look past the measurables.
