Jaden Bray is a wide receiver and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who played his collegiate career at Oklahoma State and West Virginia University. A native of Norman, Oklahoma, Bray was a three-star recruit in the 2021 class who joined Oklahoma State and showed immediate promise as a true freshman with 13 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns. Injuries hampered his development over the next two seasons before he transferred to West Virginia for 2024, where he started the season opener against Kansas before suffering a season-ending leg injury and finishing with just two catches for 88 yards. He returned for his final season at West Virginia in 2025 and earned additional playing time working in the Mountaineers' revamped offense under head coach Rich Rodriguez, giving scouts a look at his ability to make big plays in space over the course of the year.
Standing 6-foot-2 and around 205 pounds, Bray is a smooth, long-striding athlete with the frame to develop into a productive outside receiver at the next level. He is known for his ability to track the ball downfield and win in contested catch situations, using his frame effectively to shield defenders and make plays at the highest point of the ball. His injuries have limited his production and availability over multiple college seasons, and concerns about durability will be a factor for evaluators. NFL teams project Bray as a priority undrafted free agent with developmental upside as an outside receiver if he can demonstrate consistent health, and his rare combination of size and deep-ball tracking skills give him a realistic path to making an NFL roster.
