Scouting Report

Utah State · 2025 draft class

Royals is a dynamic playmaker with exceptional speed, acceleration, and big-play ability. He creates separation with his elite burst and route-running precision, consistently stressing defenses vertically. Royals displays good body control and adjustment to the ball in the air, tracking deep passes effectively. His hands continue to develop, showing more consistency catching the ball away from his frame. After the catch, Royals is electric, with the vision and elusiveness to turn short completions into explosive gains.
