Jalen Camp - Wide Receiver Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Scouting Report
JALEN CAMP | Georgia Tech | WR | #1 | rSr | 6017 | 226 | Cumming, GA | South Forsyth HS | 07.10.98 (22)
Overview:
Camp emerged as a reliable target in 2020, hauling in 27 catches for 417 yards and four touchdowns. He didn’t see much playing time until last season so his college production is severely limited, but he does have intriguing traits. Camp is a tall target who works the sidelines well and flashes the ability to compete and win jump balls in traffic. He has strong and reliable hands that allow him to bring in catches even with defenders draped all over him. He is also an effective and willing blocker in the run game, using his size to take advantage of smaller corners. Where Camp struggles to provide value is after the catch. He didn’t break a single tackle last season while averaging just 4.2 yards after catch. The agility and elusiveness are just not there; he is a tight athlete who struggles to create separation at the top of his route, having to rely on winning in contested situations. The frame and physicality may attract some, but the limited nature to his game will make it hard for him to make a difference at the next level. He will need to compete and succeed on special teams early in his career.
