29 Jan
Summary
- Easton Royal, a five-star wide receiver, committed to Texas.

- He finished his 2025 season with 53 receptions for 1,151 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Easton Royal, a five-star wide receiver from New Orleans, Louisiana, publicly committed to the Texas Longhorns in November. Despite this commitment, the Ole Miss Rebels have remained actively in pursuit of the top-ranked pass-catcher in the 2027 recruiting cycle. Royal's sophomore season in 2024 saw him earn Catholic League All-District First-Team honors, accumulating over 1,100 all-purpose yards and double-digit touchdowns.
During his junior campaign in 2025, Royal continued to impress, tallying 53 receptions for 1,151 yards and 17 touchdowns, showcasing his exceptional speed on the gridiron. This speed is also evident on the track, where he clocked 10.3 seconds in the 100-meter dash last season. Ole Miss recently made an in-person visit to Royal, demonstrating their continued interest.
While Royal maintains a strong relationship with Texas and also faces intensified pursuit from the LSU Tigers, Ole Miss is determined to challenge for his commitment. As Royal prepares for his senior season in 2026, all eyes are on his development and recruitment.
