Ja'Lynn Polk

Ja’Lynn Polk had one of the most decorated seasons by a wide receiver at Lufkin High School. This is even more impressive when you realize that Dez Bryant and Keke Coutee also attended Lufkin. He finished his career ranked 2nd all-time in school history in both receptions (131) and receiving yards (2,412). Rivals ranked Polk as the No. 67 wide receiver in the country. During his senior season, he committed to Texas Tech University. Polk was productive in his true freshman year at Texas Tech, hauling in 28 passes for 264 yards and 2 touchdowns. He started 7 games and played in 10 total for the Red Raiders. He entered the transfer portal after the season and enrolled at the University of Washington in the spring of 2021. He was immediately eligible and had 5 years to play 4 seasons at Washington. In his first season at Washington, due to injury, he only played in 3 games, starting 2. He finished the season with 5 catches for 114 yards and 1 touchdown for the Huskies. Last season, Polk started to show what he can bring to the Huskies offense. He started 8 games and played in 13 games total and was third on the team in receptions with 41 and receiving yards with 694. He added 6 touchdowns for the high powered Washington offense, which is getting national attention as one of the best offenses in the country. This season even though being the "other" receiver to Rome Odunze , Polk has showed that he belongs with the elite receivers in this draft. In 13 games he hauled in 69 receptions for 1,159 yards and 9 touchdowns. Not bad for the "other" receiver!
