According to 247SPorts, Inniss ranks as the No. 1 wide receiver of the cycle. He’s listed as the No. 9 overall prospect, as well. He’s received three dozen offers on the recruiting trail.
From 247Sports recruiting analyst Andrew Ivins:
Promising build for a young receiver. A two-year contributor at the varsity level that is known for his big-play ability. Understands the importance of setting up and selling routes. Mixes gears well. Attacks the ball in the air and often times becomes a bigger target for quarterbacks than his size would initially suggest. Might lack a true top gear, but plays fast in pads and can get behind a defense. Has run in the 4.6s on the lasers in the 40-yard dash. Fluid when it comes to changing directions. Good in the open field after a catch. Getting better at breaking tackles.
After accounting for nearly 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns, Inniss was named a MaxPreps All-American as a sophomore.
