Explosive slot target with legit route-running juice
Jalen McCleskey is a quick, compact receiver whose calling card is burst, sharp breaks, and easy separation; Tulane listed him at 5-11, 165 as a graduate student, and his pre-Tulane résumé included 167 catches for 1,865 yards and 17 touchdowns at Oklahoma State plus 37 catches for 581 yards and 4 scores in his lone Tulane season in 2019[1][2]. He was praised for “great speed,” “super hands,” and being a “tremendous route runner,” while evaluators also flagged his smaller frame and the need to hold up through contact[8][14].
