College Career Summary

Eric Singleton Jr. arrived at Auburn in 2025 as one of the most coveted weapons in the transfer portal. After a stellar career at Georgia Tech, where he was a Freshman All-American and established a reputation as an explosive vertical threat (averaging 14.9 YPC in 2023), he moved to the SEC to showcase his versatility.

In his 2025 season at Auburn, Singleton Jr. became the engine of the Tigers' passing attack. While his average depth of target decreased compared to his time in the ACC, his volume increased significantly, leading the team with 58 receptions. He proved his durability and consistency by extending his consecutive games with a catch streak to 36 (the 6th longest in FBS). Though his yardage totals were affected by inconsistent QB play, he remains a premier "track star" prospect with legitimate 10.68 100m speed.

NFL Scouting Report

• Strengths: Elite track speed and "take-the-top-off" vertical ability; veteran consistency (36-game catch streak); highly versatile (Slot, Wide, Motion, Returner); high football IQ.

• Weaknesses: Undersized frame (180 lbs) limits him against physical NFL press-man; catch radius is physically capped; may struggle as a primary red-zone target.

• Scheme Fit: Ideal Z-Receiver / Gadget Weapon in a Vertical/RPO system (e.g., Dolphins, Texans, Chiefs).

• NFL Comparison: Tank Dell / Marquise "Hollywood" Brown.

Scout's Final Word

"Eric Singleton Jr. is a 'scary' athlete. While he falls into the undersized category, his speed is the great equalizer. He proved at Auburn that he can handle high-volume, short-area targets just as well as deep-ball home runs. In a league that craves separation and YAC, Singleton is a Day 2 steal who can serve as an offense's explosive spark plug immediately. Projected: Mid Round 3."
