    Tom Fornelli's TCU Impact Player To Watch

Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jauan Jennings
Summary

Eric McAlister has been a consistently productive receiver when called upon over four years between Boise State and TCU. His career 2.86 yards-per-route figure ranks among the best in the class. McAlister offers possession-receiver traits with the ability to turn underneath throws into first downs after the catch. He profiles as a high-floor, low-ceiling receiver prospect.

  • 2024: Led FBS in first-down reception rate (min. 25 catches) at 89.7% (35 of 39)
Strengths
  • Hard-nosed player; refuses to go down.
  • Big frame that can make plays over the middle of the field.
  • Flexible route runner who can change directions well for his size.
Weaknesses
  • Focus drops have been a consistent issue.
  • Three fumbles in 2025.
