Draft Profile: Bio
Theo Wease Jr. emerged as a key playmaker for Missouri after transferring from Oklahoma, showcasing his ability to stretch the field and make clutch catches. The 6'2" wideout from Allen, Texas, brought a winning pedigree to the Tigers, having been a five-star recruit and Under Armour All-American in high school. Wease's journey from highly touted prospect to SEC contributor speaks to his resilience and adaptability.

At Missouri, Wease quickly established himself as a reliable target, starting all 13 games in his senior season. He hauled in 49 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns, averaging an impressive 13.9 yards per catch. His breakout performance came against Vanderbilt, where he snagged a career-high 10 receptions for 118 yards. Wease's big-play ability was on full display against Florida, burning the defense for a career-long 77-yard touchdown reception.

Wease's production at Missouri built upon his solid foundation at Oklahoma, where he appeared in 36 games over three seasons. His combined collegiate experience, including a strong showing in the Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State, has prepared him for the next level. With a blend of SEC and Big 12 experience, Wease has proven he can compete against top-tier talent week in and week out.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Exhibits excellent hands, making him a reliable target in critical situations and red zone opportunities.
  • Demonstrates proficiency in the deep passing game, stretching defenses and creating big-play potential.
  • Shows polished route-running skills in the intermediate range, finding soft spots in zone coverage.
  • Possesses good size at 6'2" with a frame that can add muscle, providing a solid catch radius for quarterbacks.
  • Displays impressive straight-line speed with a 4.42 40-yard dash, allowing him to separate from defenders on vertical routes.
  • Demonstrates versatility in route tree, making him a threat at all levels of the field.
  • Shows big-game experience and production, put up strong performances against the top best SEC competition.
  • Brings a winning mentality and high football IQ, having excelled at powerhouse programs in both high school and college.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Needs to improve blocking skills, which could limit his effectiveness in run-heavy schemes.
  • May face a learning curve adapting to more complex NFL route trees and coverages, having played in spread-oriented college offenses.
  • Could improve consistency in production.
  • Might need to develop a more diverse release package to consistently beat press coverage at the next level.
Scouting Report: Summary
Wease projects as a solid Day 3 prospect with the potential to contribute early in his NFL career. His combination of reliable hands, route-running savvy, and deep-threat ability makes him an intriguing option for teams looking to add depth to their receiving corps. Wease's skill set is best suited for a vertical passing offense that can utilize his speed and downfield tracking ability.

In the right system, Wease could develop into a valuable WR3 or WR4, with the upside to become a consistent starter. His experience in big-time college football environments should ease his transition to the NFL. Teams running spread concepts or those needing a complement to a physical X receiver will find Wease particularly appealing.

While he may not be a day-one starter, Wease's productivity in the SEC and his athletic profile suggest he has the tools to carve out a role in the NFL. His development as a blocker and ability to add functional strength will be key factors in determining his ultimate ceiling at the professional level.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
