Draft Profile: Bio
Jaylin Noel from Park Hill High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Noel opted to join Iowa State.In 2021 as a freshman Noel saw action in 13 games for the Cyclones as he made 39 receptions for 269 yards for an average of 6.9 yards per reception, with no TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 78.1.
As a sophomore in 2022 he played 12 games and had 60 catches for 572 yards for an average of 9.5 yards per catch, with 3 TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 89.9.
As a junior in 2023 he played 11 games and hauled in 60 catches for 741 yards for an average of 12.4 yards per catch, with 6 TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 113.6.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Noel has quick feet and good body control, allowing him to gear down and quickly get in and out of cuts. His hands are good, and he’s a creative runner after the catch with the elusiveness to slip tackles in space.
- Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. Noel has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
- He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Noel should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
- Has elite balance tight-roping the sideline and in-and-out of his breaks, showing excellent start-stop ability and burst.
- Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
- Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
- Noel isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- He’s elusive with the ball in his hands, but Noel won’t break a lot of tackles. Because getting separation is going to be an issue, he’s likely going to need to line up off the line of scrimmage.
