summary

summary

Eric Singleton Jr. is an electric, field-stretching wide receiver with elite linear speed and natural vertical separation ability, immediately becoming one of Auburn’s most dynamic offensive weapons upon his transfer from Georgia Tech. A former 10.5 sprinter with a long-striding, gliding burst, Singleton consistently forces defensive backs into panic mode with his ability to accelerate and sustain top-end speed. In 2024, he established himself as one of the ACC’s premier deep threats, posting 61 receptions for 981 yards and 9 touchdowns despite inconsistent quarterback play. At Auburn, he projects as a featured vertical Z receiver in Hugh Freeze’s offense, providing immediate explosive-play potential. Continued growth in route refinement, comfort working the full tree, and play strength through contact will determine whether he becomes a high-round NFL prospect. His speed, ball-tracking, and ascending technical development give him genuine 2026 NFL Draft breakout potential.
