The anticipation to see Isaiah Neyor in a Texas uniform continues to build.
The Wyoming transfer was already viewed as one of the better transfers available in the portal this offseason, but 247Sports took the liberty of boosting his rating even higher.
The article mentions that advanced data, film, and what they have been hearing from camp all played a factor.
Here is what they said about the playmaker from Arlington:
Big-play threat Isaiah Neyor was one of the most coveted transfer portal receivers this cycle. Neyor originally committed to Tennessee and then flipped to Texas. Neyor averaged a whopping 20 yards per catch in 2021 for Wyoming and had nice overall production, with 44 catches for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. He showed the ability to consistently get over the top and has the size to make contested catches downfield.
Intel out of Austin has been great so far regarding Neyor and hopes are high that he can be the much-needed No. 2 complement to star Xavier Worthy (as defenses key on Worthy, Neyor should be freed up). With big-armed Quinn Ewers the favorite to start at quarterback, Texas shouldn’t have an issue getting Neyor the ball deep.
His ranking went from a 91, which was in the 29-40 range, to a 93. This bumps him up to the No. 18 spot, which has him as the third highest ranked receiving transfer.
Neyor exploded onto the scene in 2021, grabbing 44 catches for 878 yards, averaging 20 yards per catch, and hauled in 12 touchdowns. He put up all these numbers in an offense at Wyoming that ranked No. 117 in passing offense in the country.
Whether it is Ewers or Hudson Card behind center, the Longhorns quarterback will have an embarrassment of riches in 2022 when it comes to receiver weapons.
