Draft Profile: Bio
Eric Singleton Jr. arrived at Georgia Tech as an unheralded three-star out of Alexander High, where he became the school's first 1,000-yard receiver. He broke out immediately, becoming the first player in Georgia Tech history with touchdown catches in each of his first five games and earning Freshman All-America honors.Over two seasons in Atlanta he totaled 104 catches for 1,468 yards and nine touchdowns, pairing production with track speed as a state qualifier who ran 10.68 in the 100 meters. He transferred to Auburn in 2025 and joined a receiving corps alongside five-star Cam Coleman.
The Auburn year was quieter than expected. Singleton caught 58 passes for 534 yards and three touchdowns across 12 games, working underneath at a low average depth, highlighted by an 11-catch, 102-yard, one-score afternoon against Vanderbilt. After withdrawing from the 2026 NFL Draft, he entered the portal and transferred to Florida, reuniting with offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner from his Georgia Tech days.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Elite timed speed that stresses coverage from the slot
- Dangerous catch-and-run threat, added 288 yards after the catch
- Piled up eleven catches for 102 yards against Vanderbilt
- Sudden releases and lateral agility to make defenders miss
- Movable gadget piece on jets, screens and motions
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Low average depth, just 534 yards on 58 catches in 2025
- Slight 180-pound frame gets rerouted by physical coverage
- Modest contested and deep production, does most of his work underneath
- Touchdown output dipped after his Georgia Tech years
- Efficiency has not yet matched the raw straight-line speed
Scouting Report: Summary
Eric Singleton Jr. is a track sprinter playing receiver, and the challenge is turning that speed into production. Elite timed speed makes him a coverage problem from the slot, and he manufactured 288 yards after the catch for Auburn with an 11-catch, 102-yard game against Vanderbilt as the high point. On jets, screens and motions he is a genuine gadget threat who can flip field position on one touch.The issue is efficiency. He caught 58 balls but managed only 534 yards, a low average depth that shows an offense using him underneath rather than downfield, and his slight 180-pound frame gets rerouted by physical coverage. His contested and deep production is thin, and his touchdown output dipped from his Georgia Tech breakout, so the speed has not translated to the box score.
He fits a creative offense that schemes him touches and lets his speed work in space, and a move to Florida reunites him with a familiar coordinator. Overall, the speed is a real NFL trait, but Singleton projects as a developmental gadget slot and return man whose draft case rests on finally converting that speed into consistent production. The return value gives him a floor while an offense learns to weaponize the speed, and the pedigree from his Georgia Tech breakout says the production is in there somewhere.
