2026 NFL Draft Prospects: Wide Receiver

7/29/25: Tyson was a dangerous weapon for the Sun Devils in 2024 as he hauled in 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tyson is fast with easy acceleration and adequate size. He showed some serious speed and explosiveness in 2022 when he averaged 21.4 yards per reception (22-470-4).

7/29/25: After Washington lost a trio of good receivers to the NFL, Boston enjoyed a breakout season for the Huskies in 2024. He had 64 receptions for 834 yards and nine touchdowns. Boston has mismatch size and looks like he is just scratching the surface of his potential.

7/29/25: Williams flashed playmaking ability for the Tigers in 2024 with 75 catches for 904 yards and 11 touchdowns. Williams (5-11, 190) has enough size and some natural talent as a route-runner.

7/29/25: An injury kept Anderson out of the season opener against Temple. He returned to the field against Tennessee before leaving the game early with another injury. He did not have a catch in 2024. Anderson transferred to LSU after the season. Anderson showed that he was scratching the surface of his potential in 2023 with Oklahoma. As a redshirt freshman, Anderson caught 38 passes for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns. That made for a superb average of 21 yards per catch. Anderson has mismatch size and upside to be better as he gains experience.

7/29/25: Bernard played well in 2024, with 50 catches for 794 yards and two touchdowns. Bernard has the upside to produce more in 2025.

7/29/25: Tate flashed as a freshman in 2023, catching 18 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown. In 2024, Tate had 50 receptions for 698 yards and four touchdowns. He could be primed to break out in 2025 as the replacement for Emeka Egbuka.

7/29/25: Anderson is a speedster receiver that is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball. In 2024 Anderson had 61 receptions for 875 yards and five touchdowns. Anderson has a lot of upside to develop.

7/29/25: Burks has playmaking ability for the NFL. In 2024, he had 31 receptions for 245 yards and three touchdowns. In 2023, Burks caught 47 passes for 629 yards and seven touchdowns with Purdue. Burks is a fast and dynamic receiver. Team sources feel that Burks is fast, tough, blocks hard, and has upside.

7/29/25: Singleton is a small speed receiver with the ability to stretch defenses vertically. In 2024, he had 56 catches with 754 yards and three touchdowns with Georgia Tech. The previous season, Singleton totaled 48 receptions for 714 yards with six scores. He is very fast, but is undersized and could have durability concerns for the NFL.

7/29/25: Sarratt made some big plays for the Hoosiers in 2024 with eight touchdowns, 53 receptions, and 957 yards. His 18.1 yards per catch average showed the playmaking ability that Sarratt possesses. In 2023, he had 82 catches for 1,191 yards with eight touchdowns while playing for James Madison. Sarratt had 42 catches for 700 yards and 13 scores with Saint Francis in 2022.

7/29/25: Wilson hit the ground running for the Gators as a freshman and flashed an ability to make things happen with the ball in his hands. He totaled 538 yards and six touchdowns on 61 catches in his debut. In 2024, Wilson was banged up and did not flash the playmaking ability he did as a freshman. In his sophomore season, Wilson had 19 catches for 266 yards and a touchdown.

7/29/25: Horton is a big receiver who looked like he was just scratching the surface of his potential in 2024. He caught 56 passes for 616 yards and five touchdowns. Horton has good size and could improve after gaining experience.

7/29/25: White is a shifty receiver with quickness and is a dangerous runner with the ball in his hands. In 2024, White had 34 catches for 381 yards and two touchdowns. As a sophomore, White had 67 receptions for 803 yards with two touchdowns. White is an undersized slot receiver candidate for the NFL.

7/29/25: Fields is a big receiver and has been a consistent contributor for the Irish. In 2024, he had 55 catches for 808 yards and five scores. The previous season he had 58 receptions for 811 yards with five touchdowns. Fields is a good boundary receiver with his size. He lacks some explosion, but is consistent in winning contested catches. He could be a safe mid-round pick to develop into a solid contributor.

7/29/25: In 2024, Cooper had 28 catches for 594 yards and seven touchdowns. He was a shifty and dangerous receiver for the Hoosiers. Cooper could be featured more by the Hoosiers in 2025.

7/29/25: In 2024, Brazzell had 29 catches for 333 yards and two touchdowns. Brazzell flashed as a redshirt freshman in 2023, catching 44 passes for 711 yards and five touchdowns. Brazzell is a size mismatch problem with upside to be better as he gains experience.

7/29/25: Team sources have said that Harbor jumped out to them when watching Gamecocks practice. In 2024, Harbor had 26 receptions for 376 yards and three touchdowns. Harbor has size and speed, but needs to produce more on the field.

7/29/25: Lane is a big receiver who is dangerous to win 50-50 passes. He was an excellent redzone weapon in 2024, hauling in 12 touchdowns. He caught 43 passes for 525 yards. If Lane shows speed in 2025, he could be a riser.

7/29/25: Lance had a breakout year with the Bison in 2024, catching 75 passes for 1,053 yards and 17 touchdowns. As the younger brother of former Bison quarterback Trey Lance, Bryce Lance is keeping the family tradition alive in North Dakota. Lance will need to run well in pre-draft workouts.

7/29/25: Thomas is a tall receiver who presents a size mismatch against cornerbacks. The test will be to see how well he runs and if he can separate from cornerbacks during the 2025 season. In 2024, Thomas caught 39 passes for 574 yards and eight touchdowns.

7/29/25: Bell was a solid receiver for the Cardinals in 2024, catching 43 passes for 737 yards and four touchdowns. With more experience, Bell could be better in 2025. Showing the speed to separate will be necessary for him to rise.

7/29/25: In 2024, Gibson had 14 catches for 375 yards and five touchdowns. Like the other Sooner receivers, Gibson missed time with injuries. He has the skill set and upside to rise as a junior.

7/29/25: Greathouse had some clutch plays in 2024 to help the Irish reach the National Championship. Riley Leonard was inconsistent as a passer, so Greathouse could have produced more. He totaled 42 catches for 592 yards and four touchdowns.

7/29/25: Douglas had a strong 2024 season for the Red Raiders, hauling in 60 receptions for 877 yards and six touchdowns. He has mismatch size and the potential to be a riser if he runs well leading up to his draft class.

7/29/25: Brown showed some playmaking ability for the Wildcats in 2024, averaging 18 yards per reception. He hauled in 47 passes for 823 yards and five touchdowns. He could stand to gain some weight and fill out his frame for the NFL.

7/29/25: Thomas had buzz and excitement in the scouting community for the 2024 season, but Thomas was kicked off the Georgia team in the preseason. In 2023 (23-383-1) and 2022 (44-626-7), he flashed for the Bulldogs. Thomas landed with Troy for the 2025 season, but off-the-field concerns are going to hurt Thomas throughout the draft process.

7/29/25: Farooq has dealt with injuries and had only three catches for 58 yards. In 2023, Farooq caught 45 passes for 694 yards and two touchdowns. The previous season, Farooq had 37 catches for 466 yards and five scores. Farooq has a solid build and the upside to be better in 2025.

7/29/25: At Alabama, Prentice had 11 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown. In 2023, Prentice produced 314 yards on 18 catches with two touchdowns

7/29/25: During spring workouts, Stewart tore a patellar tendon and will miss the 2025 season. In 2024, Stewart had 48 receptions for 615 yards and five touchdowns with Oregon. Stewart did not have a prolific season in two years with Texas A&M, but he flashed the ability to make plays. In 2023, Stewart caught 38 passes for 514 yards and four touchdowns.

7/29/25: Lemon contributed 52 receptions for 764 yards and three touchdowns to the Trojans offense in 2024. For the NFL, he could fit as a slot receiver.

7/29/25: Strong is a big outside receiver that is put together well and provides a size mismatch. In 2024, he caught 43 passes for 676 yards and five touchdowns.

7/29/25: Lee is a dangerous slot receiver that could produce more after the Rebels lost some upperclassmen to the NFL. In 2024, he totaled 57 receptions for 874 yards and two touchdowns.

7/29/25: Bell caught 43 passes for 466 yards and four touchdowns. He showed some ability but was hindered by Carson Beck’s struggles and inconsistency. In 2023, Bell had 29 catches for 355 yards and two touchdowns. With Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey moving on to the NFL, Bell could get more opportunities to make plays in 2024.

7/29/25: Benson had 25 receptions for 311 yards and a touchdown. Benson caught 13 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown in 2023 for Alabama. He transferred to Florida State after the season. Benson was a five-star JUCO recruit who landed at Alabama for 2023. Benson was unable to get playing time and targets over players like Jermaine Burton and Isaiah Bond.

7/29/25: Evans has some speed, and has to produce more on the field. In 2024, with Georgia, he had nine catches for 88 yards.

7/29/25: In 2024, Law had 10 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown with Alabama. After the season, he transferred to Kentucky.
