Ashton Bethel-Roman

High-level receiver prospect who's shown productivity to all levels with big-play athleticism and underneath know-how. Lean, sinewy athlete with good length and broader shoulders for listed size.

Easy long-strider who generates sneaky top-end speed that reflects track prowess. Exceptionally smooth in movement patterns with an ease of motion that belies quick-twitch redirecting ability and acceleration. Dangerous in space thanks to combination of close-quarters agility and sudden linear explosion. Elite combine tester in agility categories (short shuttle, 3-cone).

Erases off-coverage cushions in a hurry. Shows capability to get late separation to increase catch windows. Flashes impressive body control and adjustment acumen when needed. Spatially aware and knows how to win with subtle angles and IQ to leak to space, including when coming back to his QB when the play breaks down.

Outstanding multi-sport profile thanks to track and field accomplishments. Owner of long jumps beyond 23 feet and 21.5 200-meter speed. Also possesses an excellent football pedigree as the son of a 10-year NFL veteran with 100-plus starts in the secondary.

Wins contested throws, including red-zone targets, but can more consistently meet the ball as an apex high-pointer. Similarly can show more hands-catching acumen in the short-to-intermediate range. Adding some mass and gaining strength will make him that much more dangerous a 1-on-1 matchup.

Junior year revealed immense progress as a receiver, along with encouraging athletic context via combine testing and track and field environments. One of the top receivers in Texas and potentially the country entering his senior campaign. Projects as a high-major prospect with the potential to become an impact weapon and NFL Draft early-round candidate.
