Big-play burner with polished route instincts
Jalen Royals is a fast, explosive Utah State receiver who built his rep on chunk plays, with 1,914 career receiving yards and 21 touchdowns in college, including a 2024 season of 55 catches for 834 yards and 6 scores. He stands out for his acceleration, body control, and ability to win after the catch, while scouts also praised his aggressive, competitive style and route feel. That said, his rise was more late-bloomer than can’t-miss can’t-blink superstar, which makes him a strong fit for teams wanting a playmaker who can threaten vertically and turn routine targets into splash gains.
