Reggie Virgil is a wide receiver and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who finished his collegiate career with the Texas Tech Red Raiders after spending three seasons with the Miami University RedHawks. A native of Apopka, Florida, Virgil committed to Miami of Ohio as a three-star recruit in the 2022 class and played a limited role in his first two seasons before emerging as one of the top receivers in the Mid-American Conference in 2024, leading the RedHawks with 41 receptions for 816 yards and nine touchdowns at a 19.9 yards per reception average and earning Second Team All-MAC honors. That standout campaign earned him a transfer to the Big 12, where he joined Texas Tech and immediately stepped into a featured role in 2025, recording 57 receptions for 705 yards and six receiving touchdowns to go along with two rushing scores, leading the Red Raiders in receptions and earning Honorable Mention All-Big 12 recognition. He was one of eight Texas Tech players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine and also participated in the 2026 Senior Bowl, finishing his career with 100 receptions for 1,583 yards and 16 receiving touchdowns across 50 games at two programs.
Standing 6-foot-3 and approximately 190 pounds, Virgil is known for elite straight-line speed that creates genuine vertical threat potential down the boundary, polished tempo at the line of scrimmage with the footwork and release quickness to defeat press coverage and create top-of-route separation, a reliable intermediate route tree built around comeback routes, slants, and in-breaking patterns that he executed consistently against both MAC and Big 12 competition, and a long stride that generates run-after-catch yards when he has a step of open field. The primary concerns entering the professional level are his lean build that limits physicality against press corners and at the contested catch point, and a drop rate that requires greater concentration in tight windows. NFL evaluators project him as a Day 3 speed receiver and developmental boundary weapon whose combination of length, top-end speed, and improving route sophistication give him legitimate upside as a complementary playmaker in an offense that values the vertical passing game.
