Draft Profile: Bio
Brennan Presley, a standout player at Oklahoma State, has been a significant contributor on offense and special teams, while also excelling academically. A fifth-year senior entering the 2024 season, Presley ranks among the top players in school history with 225 receptions, 2,548 receiving yards, and 16 receiving touchdowns. He also has impressive stats as a kickoff returner, with 1,219 return yards. Throughout his college career, he has been recognized for his leadership, being voted team captain multiple times and earning several All-Big 12 honors.
Presley’s journey began in Bixby, Oklahoma, where he earned Oklahoma Gatorade High School Player of the Year honors in 2019. At Bixby High School, he won back-to-back state titles and showcased his versatility by playing multiple positions, including wide receiver, defensive back, and return specialist. His high school career stats included 232 receptions for 3,448 yards and 40 touchdowns, along with 16 interceptions on defense.
In 2023, he had his most productive season, recording 101 catches for 991 yards and six touchdowns. He also contributed significantly on special teams and was a key player in the Cowboys' Texas Bowl win, where he set a program record with 16 catches.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Excellent route runner with a strong understanding of spacing and timing.
- Soft hands and reliable catching ability, even in traffic.
- Proven ability to gain significant yards after the catch.
- Versatile player, contributing effectively on offense and special teams.
- Strong leadership qualities - multi-year team captain.
- Highly productive with a record-setting performance in the Texas Bowl.
- Quick and agile, making him a threat in open space.
- Consistently reliable, with multiple catches in 30 consecutive games.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Limited size and physical presence at 5'8" and 175 pounds.
- Struggles to create separation purely with speed.
- Not highly effective as a run blocker.
- Occasional difficulty making plays in tight coverage.
- Relies more on effort and technique than burst and speed.
Scouting Report: Summary
Brennan Presley is a dynamic slot receiver who brings versatility and high football IQ to the field. His reliable hands, crisp route-running, and ability to rack up yards after the catch make him a valuable weapon in the passing game. As a proven leader and consistent performer, he offers immediate contributions on special teams and as a reliable third-down target.
However, Presley's size at 5'8" and 175 pounds presents concerns about his durability and physicality at the next level. He lacks elite top-end speed and struggles to create separation against more physical defenders. His run blocking and ability to make contested catches in tight coverage are areas needing improvement, which might limit his role in certain offensive schemes.
Presley's NFL potential lies in his agility, quickness, and situational awareness. He can carve out a niche as a slot receiver and special teams ace, providing value on punt and kickoff returns. Teams seeking a shifty, high-motor player with strong hands and the ability to execute precise routes will find Presley appealing. To succeed, he'll need to leverage his strengths and overcome his physical limitations, making the most of his football savvy and competitive drive.
