Reliable Southern Miss depth piece with size and special-teams grit
In the latest available seasons, Zavian Hales has been more of a developmental receiver than a box-score producer, with no recorded receptions in 2023 or 2024, but he’s a 6-foot-2, 195-pound target who has stuck on the roster and contributed on special teams. His appeal is less about flashy stat lines and more about body type, perseverance, and utility; he brings size, some verified explosiveness in modern player ratings, and the kind of buy-in coaches love when building depth. If you need immediate receiving fireworks, he’s not that guy yet — but if you value physical upside and roster flexibility, he’s worth a closer look.
