One of the better recruiting jobs they have been able to go through and land is the wide receiver position, which is a position they have landed prospects at consistently. They have landed many different guys, including Xavier Stinson. Stinson is one of the players that they have landed in the 2026 class at the WR position.

Stinson is one of the most popular names in the class, and is one of many players that they have landed from the state of Florida. This is because of the fact that they have been targeting the state extremely heavily. The Bruins have been looking to land the best of the best, and indeed they did.
