Tennessee Vols true freshman wide receiver Braylon Staley hasn't taken a snap in a collegiate game yet, but he already looks like a potential superstar in the SEC.
Staley, 6-foot/180 lbs from Johnston, SC, signed with the Vols during the 2024 recruiting cycle. He was rated by 247Sports as the No. 15 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 78 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class.
On Sunday, Staley's father, Brian, posted a video of the Tennessee wide receiver making an impressive jumping catch that almost doesn't even look real (it's real, but it's that impressive).
Here's the catch.
Staley showed some incredible body control in that video along with a very impressive vertical leap.
The South Carolina native might only be 6-foot, but he looks like the type of player that can win his fair share of 50/50 balls.
Tennessee is building some impressive depth at the wide receiver position. The Vols don't necessarily need to count on Staley (or fellow freshman wide receiver Mike Matthews) in 2024, but they might not be able to keep him off the field thanks to his obviously elite talent.
