The average fan could be forgiven for not recognizing Jalen Royals, the wide receiver from Utah State.
After all, Utah State isn’t a big school and rarely have a big school on their schedule. Also, Royals himself only played seven games in 2024 thanks to an injury, so he’s been out of sight for much of the year.
But the fact that he isn’t widely known, however, shouldn’t mean that he isn’t a very good prospect. Had Royals played for a bigger school, such as Alabama, LSU, or Ohio State, he might be reckoned among the very best receivers in the draft.
