Jaylin Noel was the complement to Jayden Higgins at Iowa State. Now, the two wide receivers are heading down different paths in the NFL Draft. But while Higgins was his dynamic duo on the field, who is Noel’s partner in crime off the field?
Is Jaylin Noel Dating Anyone in 2025?
The wide receiver isn’t just dating — he’s engaged. Noel proposed to Aliyah Hunter on Oct. 3, 2024. As of April, they’ve been engaged for six months, according to Sportskeeda.
Hunter is a licensed esthetician who specializes in eyebrows and eyelashes.
She went to school at Aveda and often posts pictures with Noel on Instagram — including sweet moments of them holding hands and posing together.
Noel’s Dating History
There’s no public record of Noel dating anyone before Aliyah Hunter. In fact, the oldest photos on Hunter’s Instagram already feature Noel, suggesting this has been his only public relationship.
Noel’s NFL Draft Projection for 2025
Jaylin Noel made a solid impression at the 2025 Senior Bowl, helping his case ahead of the draft. So where might the Iowa State standout land? According to a Pro Football Network mock draft from April 4, Noel is projected to go 55th overall in Round 2 to the Los Angeles Chargers — ahead of his former teammate Jayden Higgins.
The Chargers’ wide receiver room could use a lift. Ladd McConkey is the most recognizable name right now, but there’s no clear franchise wideout. Adding Noel could give the team a much-needed spark on offense and help shape a young WR duo for the future.
The Chargers currently rank 17th in Pro Football Network’s offensive rankings. They’ve added some pop at running back with Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris, but wide receiver remains a key need.
Noel could be that fix. He improved steadily over four college seasons. As a freshman, he posted just 269 yards. In Year 2, he jumped to 572 yards and three touchdowns — including his first-ever college score. In 2023, he broke out with 820 yards and seven touchdowns. Then in 2024, he posted career highs with 1,194 yards and eight touchdowns.
Now, the pressure’s on for him to prove he’s worthy of being a top-100 pick in his rookie campaign.
