2020 NFL Draft prospect and Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace has his stock on the rise with a big performance against Oregon State.

The wide receiver class for the 2020 NFL Draft is shaping up to be an all-timer if all of these young players end up declaring.

One player who is making his case early on in the 2019 season to be the top wide receiver on your team’s draft board is Oklahoma State’s Tylan Wallace.

Wallace was a Biletnikoff Award finalist in 2018 as the nation’s best wide receiver when he caught 86 passes for 1,491 yards and 12 touchdowns.

This guy is a lot of fun to watch, and plays way bigger than his listed 6-foot, 185-pound size suggests. He’s got strong hands, runs excellent routes, and has speed to burn.

Wallace is also out here putting guys in the spin cycle with the sluggo route.

Wallace is one of a number of college receivers who could probably benefit from the NFL allowing sophomores to declare early. He looks like he should be playing in the pros with some of the stuff he’s doing against Oregon State.

Not that college is bad for these guys at all, but sometimes the talent is so obviously translatable it’s hard to imagine these guys couldn’t help NFL teams a bit sooner.

Wallace is part of a star-studded group of receivers in college football that includes Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs, Clemson’s Tee Higgins, Colorado’s Laviska Shenault, Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb, and TCU’s Jalen Reagor who could be first-round draft picks in 2020.

There could be even more than that, who knows?

In the first half against Oregon State, Wallace had three catches for 80 yards and showed off some of the best of what we’ll see from him this year.

Many of the players who had high expectations going into this season have really done a great job getting off to quick starts for their respective schools.
