Draft Profile: Bio
Out of Jacksonville, Texas, McCuin signed with UTSA as a three-star and contributed right away, catching 42 passes for 546 yards and three scores as a true freshman in 2023.He grew into a reliable, speedy slot option over three seasons with the Roadrunners, leaving the program with 152 career receptions for 1,696 yards and sixteen touchdowns.
His junior year was his most productive. McCuin caught 65 passes for 726 yards and eight touchdowns across twelve games in 2025, dropping just three balls on 95 targets and adding 352 yards after the catch. He entered the transfer portal afterward and committed to Ohio State, bringing a quick, productive slot skill set to a Power Four offense. The 1,696 career yards and sixteen scores at UTSA made him one of the more productive Group of Five receivers in the class, and the move to Ohio State gives his speed a bigger stage.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Quick, speedy slot who separates with a sudden release off the line
- Weaponized catch-and-run, added 352 yards after the catch in 2025
- Reliable hands, dropped just three balls on 95 targets
- Nose for the end zone, scored eight touchdowns on the season
- Two-score afternoon at Tulane, 100 yards against Charlotte
- Efficient producer, 726 yards and steady week-to-week output
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Faced American Conference coverage, must prove it at the Power Four level
- Slight 195-pound frame invites contact from bigger defenders
- Contested volume is low, wins mostly on separation
- Nearly a full-time slot receiver with limited experience winning outside
Scouting Report: Summary
UTSA produced one of the Group of Five's most efficient receivers in Devin McCuin, and now that game gets a bigger stage. He caught 65 balls for 726 yards and eight scores in 2025, dropping just three on 95 targets, a quick, speedy slot who separates with a sudden release and turns short throws into 352 yards after the catch. His two-score afternoon at Tulane and 100-yard game against Charlotte showed the weekly production.The questions are about level and role. He faced American Conference coverage, so the separation and efficiency have to hold against Power Four corners, and his 195-pound frame invites contact from bigger defenders. His contested volume is low because he rarely had to win in traffic, and he took most of his snaps inside. The timed speed is real, and it is the trait that should carry to a bigger stage even if the target profile narrows against Big Ten corners.
The move to Ohio State answers the level question directly, and a spread offense that features a movement slot fits his skill set cleanly. Overall, the speed, hands and red-zone production are a starter-caliber base, and McCuin projects as a productive slot receiver whose ceiling rides on how the game translates against Big Ten and playoff-level corners.
