WR Brennan Eagles, Alief Taylor

Recruitment: Eagles really opened eyes at The Opening regional in Houston where he tested off the charts (4.51 40, 3.99 shuttle, 37 inch vertical). A four-star prospect, Eagles committed to Texas over Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU and many others. At 6-foot-3.5, 214 pounds, Eagles is ranked as the No. 5 wide receiver in the country and No. 3 overall player in the state of Texas, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Strengths: Eagles has elite size and athleticism with a college-ready build. Eagles is a vertical threat who can also make plays in the quick screen game. He shows strong hands with a natural pass catching ability. His frame and leaping ability allow him to exploit one-on-one matchups and win on jump-balls. Eagles excels at making acrobatic catches with the use of his exceptional body control and ball-tracking ability. He catches the ball well in traffic, and is a tenacious blocker in the run game. Eagles showed a drastic improvement in gaining separation from defenders between his sophomore and junior season.

Areas for improvement: Like many high school receivers, Eagles could improve on sharpening his route running ability. He should also work on playing a more physical brand of football and use his size to his advantage. Eagles could also improve his flexibility to improve fluidity in and out of his breaks.

Fit for Texas: Eagles is a potential big-play threat with massive size on the outside. He should be able to compete for playing time right away, and he can feature as a chain-moving specialist or deep threat. Eagles will combine with players like Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Collin Johnson to form a group of large, athletic receivers who can block in the run-game and make big plays over the top. Eagles is also well-respected in recruiting circles, so he should be able to attract other players.
