Eric Singleton Jr. is a wide receiver from Auburn who is ranked No. 73 on my NFL Draft Top 100 Big Board. This comprehensive scouting report analyzes Singleton’s draft potential, current mock draft trends, and where he ranks among the top prospects.
Eric Singleton Jr.’s NFL Draft Potential
Eric Singleton Jr.’s ranking on my 2026 NFL Draft board, at this stage, is partly a projection — but there’s no denying how quickly Singleton adjusted and thrived at the Power Five level. He broke the 700-yard mark as a true freshman and true sophomore at Georgia Tech, and while his production has stagnated in Auburn’s hamstrung passing offense, Singleton himself has continued to show promise.
In PFSN’s CFB WR database, Singleton has a healthy score above 80, and his RAC numbers in particular are strong. Per TruMedia, he’s averaging six yards of RAC per reception, and a full yard of RAC over expectation per catch. Those numbers track with what he showed at Georgia Tech. While quarterback play has never been on Singleton’s side, he’s proven himself to be a universally alignment-versatile weapon with high value on schemed touches, drag routes, crossers, and slants on must-have downs.
At 5’10”, 180 pounds, Singleton is undersized, with lacking mass and length — but he compensates with electric short-area athleticism and quickness, along with blistering speed and explosiveness. Not only is that supercharged athleticism an asset after the catch, but Singleton has also proven he can use it to offset defenders and explode off breaks in man coverage, as well as carve into open zones. And while his play strength at the catch isn’t high-end, he’s flashed rare contortion and body control on high-difficulty attempts.
With Jackson Arnold limiting the Tigers’ passing offense, Singleton’s production will unfortunately continue to stagnate in 2025. Nevertheless, it’s easy to look past that and see that Singleton is an NFL talent, and potentially an early-round talent at that. He’ll operate best in space-oriented offenses that favor pre-snap motion and short RAC concepts, but he has enough speed to contend vertically and make high-flying grabs, too.
CFB Week 10 Update
Week 10 was a rough showing for Singleton. He caught just two passes for 12 yards in Auburn’s 3-10 loss to Kentucky, and within his small sample size of receptions, he struggled to make the most of his RAC opportunities, sometimes dancing too much in space and wasting motion.
At this point, we can accept that we won’t see the best version of Singleton in Auburn’s severely hamstrung offense. He could still declare, but the better path forward for Singleton might be to return to school and transfer to a program with a more sound offensive framework and support structure.
CFB Week 11 Update
With new life at QB, Singleton had his best performance of the year against Vanderbilt, catching 11 passes for over 102 yards and a score. His touchdown was a hyper-efficient separation play and a tough catch against tight coverage on a slant, while his best play of the day was a deep reception up the seam that featured incredible body control and hand-eye coordination. Singleton is an uber-dynamic athlete with RAC, separation, and catching ability, and now we’re seeing more and more of it after the Tigers’ QB change.
CFB Week 12 Update
Auburn was on a bye in Week 12, but the Tigers will be back in action against the Mercer Bears in Week 13.
