2023 Shrine Bowl Scouting Notes: WR Jadon Haselwood, Arkansas

Jadon Haselwood was one of the top wide receiver prospects in his class leading up to 2021, and he hadn’t lived up to his billing. When Oklahoma switched from Spencer Rattler to Caleb Williams, Haselwood shined and became one of the biggest threats on the team immediately. Haselwood transferred to Arkansas for the 2022 season, where he split time with Matt Landers as big bodies for KJ Jefferson to throw the ball to.

Jadon Haselwood scouting notes

Pros:

  • Good speed. 
  • Very solid change of direction. He can do some crazy things with his movement to make defenders miss. 
  • Very explosive athlete. Works well in space. 
  • Shows good hands. Has made tremendous strides to making catches outside of his frame.
  • For the most part, has made catches consistently.
  • Flashes the ability to make tough catches through contact. Doesn’t do it consistently. When he does, he’s electric.  
  • Serious red zone threat. Oklahoma did a great job utilizing him out of the slot in those situations. 

Cons:

  • Decent body control, though not great. 
  • Has some ball security issues. 
  • Doesn’t position himself well when fighting for the ball.
