“At 6’0 180, Austin has great size and athleticism at the position- he moves really well out wide, is a talented route runner, and can easily gain separation from defenders at multiple levels of the field. Austin might have some of the best body control in the state- he consistently puts himself in great position to haul in some ridiculous catches.

Austin is also a problem in the open field. He has a lot of twitch and speed he uses to make defenders miss and rack up additional yards after the catch, constantly finding ways to create with the ball in his hands.“

Last month, Austin committed to Alabama A&M! He’ll thrive there- he’s bringing a ton of talent and will be a playmaker in their WR room over the next few years.

Check out some of Austin’s tape below:

I was seriously impressed with how reliable Austin was in the red zone last season- he consistently beat DBs off of multiple routes to haul in a ton of TD grabs.

Austin announced on Twitter the other day that he’d just picked up an offer from North Alabama!

Austin has great size and athleticism, he moves really well out wide and is a talented route runner who can gain separation at multiple levels. Austin might have some of the best body control in the state- he consistently puts himself in great position to haul in some absolutely ridiculous catches.

One of the things that impressed me most with Austin’s tape was his reliability and production in the redzone- he came away with so many TD grabs last season, consistently beating DBs off of fades, corners, gos, and more- if you name a route, he probably scored off of it. With how well he’s played, Austin has had some colleges reach out to him- he picked up offers from Alabama State and Jacksonville State a few weeks back, and it won’t be the last. Austin has already put together some great film you can watch below and is set up for a big season this fall, keep an eye on him!
