20/20: Tylan Wallace, WR Oklahoma State
Welcome to the 20/20 series. As part of our continued Dynasty Scouts coverage and in preparation for the NFL Combine, we profile 20 of the top incoming rookies of the class of 2021 by giving you 20 facts you must know.
1.) Player Name: Tylan Wallace
2.) College: Oklahoma State
3.) Height/Weight: 5’11”, 193 lbs
4.) Birthdate: May 13, 1999 (21 years old)
5.) Class: Senior
6.) Basic college stats: Wallace took college football by storm as a 19-year-old sophomore. He had 86 receptions for 1,491 receiving yards and 12 receiving touchdowns. He averaged 5.5 receptions, 92.8 receiving yards, and 0.7 receiving touchdowns per game during his college career.

7.) ACL Tear: In his junior season, Wallace tore his ACL in practice after being on pace to match his impressive sophomore season. As a result, he returned to school for his senior year. He rehabbed quickly from the injury and was ready for Oklahoma State’s season opener just 11 months after the initial injury.
8.) NFL Draft round projection: According to The NFL Mock Draft Database, Wallace is a projected third-round pick. The NFL Mock Draft Database is a consensus average of the most accurate and top-rated mocks in the industry.
9.) Current NFL comparison: It’s difficult finding a player similar to Wallace’s production profile. Most players with his type of age-adjusted production would have declared after their junior season. His knee injury prevented him from declaring early.
Ultimately, he compares to a less-muscled version of Jalen Reagor. Both demonstrate plus physicality for their size and are vertical threats. Wallace is slightly less dynamic than Reagor but he’s more refined as a receiver.
10.) Best possible destination: The Green Bay Packers need another threat opposite Davante Adams. Equanimeous St Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s contracts expire after the 2021 season and Wallace would thrive with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback.
The New York Jets should be targeting a new quarterback to lead their team this off-season and their new signal-caller will need weapons. Wallace is a great target for the Jets who should be looking to add another wide receiver on day two of the NFL Draft behind Denzel Mims and Jamison Crowder.
Corey Davis is set to hit free agency and the Tennessee Titans will need another wide receiver to complement AJ Brown on the outside. Wallace would slot in nicely as the number two option for Ryan Tannehill.
11.) Worst possible destination:
The New York Giants have struggled in the passing game with Daniel Jones at the helm. Additionally, Darius Slayton is a similarly built wide receiver who also attacks the field vertically.
12.) Best current skill: Ability to stretch the field vertically with his speed and go up and catch the ball over defenders.
13.) Skill that needs to be improved: Wallace needs to demonstrate an expanded route tree outside of being just a vertical threat in an air-raid offense.
14.) Past/current rookie ADP: DLF’s March Startup ADP has Wallace as the WR54 going off the board in the middle of the 12th round. In March Rookie ADP, he’s the WR7 around the 2.05.
15.) Projected dynasty value: Wallace could sneak inside the top 50 dynasty wide receivers by May if he finds a good landing spot in the NFL Draft. Wallace doesn’t initially project as a future top-12 dynasty receiver, however, a top-24 or top-36 receiver is well within his range of outcomes.
16.) Breakout Age: Wallace eclipsed the 30 percent breakout threshold at age 19.
17.) Awards: In 2018, Wallace was a Biletnikoff Award Finalist and a First Team All American. He also is a two-time First Team All-Big 12 player and won the 2018 Bob Fenimore Award (Oklahoma State’s Team MVP).
18.) Age-Adjusted Market Share Stats: Wallace’s market share of team receiving yards is well above the average of successful NFL wide receivers in college.
19.) Tylan Wallace vs James Washington: Wallace’s production as a sophomore easily eclipsed James Washington’s best season at Oklahoma State. Wallace was 19 years old, compared to Washington who was a 21-year old senior. Washington was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft.
20.) Twin: Tylan has a twin brother, Tracin, who also played wide receiver at Oklahoma State. Unfortunately, Tracin suffered a third ACL tear forcing him to retire from football.
Pre-NFL Draft, Tylan Wallace has a very intriguing production profile and is one of my favorite targets in the early second round of superflex rookie drafts.
