Scouting Journals for Benny Easter Jr.

Multi-level playmaker who can stretch the field vertically and move the sticks consistently with his pass-catching prowess. Strongly built body type with great proportions and length. Stands in at 6-foot, 200 pounds with a nearly 6-foot-5 wingspan. Needs a bit of a runway in order to hit top-end speed, but has the long speed to run by most defenders. Clocked a 22.15 200m dash during his sophomore track and field season. Excellent understanding of leverage in order to box out defenders and attack the football. Strong hands that come down with the majority of 50-50 balls due to high point ability and frame utilization. Has yards-after-catch ability due to play strength and impressive wiggle. Need to see him continue to improve acceleration and precision out of breaks at the top of his routes, but he is a plug-and-play number one option at the next level.

Benny Easter (No. 22) makes a move in the wide receiver position rankings on the heels of a very productive season, catching 89 passes for 1,309 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior at Humble (Texas) Summer Creek. Easter is one of the more physically-developed top wide receiver prospects at around 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. He’s a high volume target who shows strong hands and the ability to finish through contact at the catch point and pick up yards after the catch.
