Mississippi | Hometown: Kapolei, HI | HT: 6022 | WT: 205 | 40 time: 4.36 | Hand: 0978 | Arm: 3138 | Wing: 7634
Five-year starter. Played two years each at Washington State and Oklahoma State prior to transferring to Mississippi in 2025. Played in just four games in 2023 prior to an injury suffered in practice that ended his season after just four games. Stribling is a linear athlete with above average size and speed. He has the instant burst and foot quickness to put pressure on the defense and a competitive finisher's mentality that shows up all over the field. Has been a productive downfield threat everywhere he's been, and the underlying theme to his game stems from both speed and sheer effort. Add in the sure hands and ability to create explosive plays, he is an easy outside receiver to throw in the rotation with credible starter-upside. Reaches his top speed in a blink. Gets small and slippery against the jam with productive immediate steps. Footwork is clean as a vertical route runner. Able to locate the ball and adjust late. Quick to secure the catch and tuck it tight to his body and away from the defender's last effort to jar it loose. Extremely competitive as a blocker who will latch and finish through the whistle. Does not carry over athleticism traits to lateral movement. Gets hesitant and choppy out of his breaks. Did not run a wide variety of routes. Will struggle to maintain balance through contact. Minimal-to-none special teams impact.
2025 Stats: 55-811, 14.8 ypr, 6 TD. OSR:7/37. VJ-36. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
