Blackwell had 51 receptions for 1,156 yards and 19 touchdowns for Sun Valley High School (Monroe, NC) last year as a Sophomore.
247Sports ranks him as the #37 overall player in the 2021 recruiting class, the #5 wide receiver, and the #3 player overall in the state of North Carolina.
It’s worth noting that Blackwell played with UNC commit Sam Howell at Sun Valley, who will be a Freshman in Chapel Hill next year.
