Young Southern WR with dual-threat flashes and room to grow
In the 2025 season, Herman Batiste was a freshman wide receiver for Southern listed at 6'0", 190 pounds, and the box scores show limited receiving production but some offensive versatility, including 2 rushing attempts for 3 yards in early action.[1][7][10] He stands out more for profile than volume right now: a young, active athlete who also appears on Southern’s 2026 track roster, which hints at speed and acceleration that can translate well on the outside.[4][15] If a team wants an upside WR with developmental traits and multi-sport athleticism, he’s worth a closer look; if it wants immediate stat-sheet fireworks, he’s still in the proving-it phase.[1][8]
