Gayles is an explosive wide out with a ton of versatility. He can line up out wide, in the slot and adds value as a punt/kick returner as well. He’s electric with the ball in his hands and is a true game breaker who can stretch the field and score from anywhere on the field. He’s a polished route runner, fluid in how he moves with little wasted motion and knows how to set up an opposing corner. A natural pass catcher with soft hands and doesn’t fight the ball and is able to tuck it and get up the field. Plays with a lot of shake and wiggle and is one of the better receivers after the catch. Routinely makes multiple defenders miss in space and shows the ability to play in any type of offensive scheme. Has a solid track profile with multiple sub 11.0-100m times and a personal best 10.76. from his sophomore season. Projects as a multi-year starter at the high Power 4 level with an NFL ceiling as well.
