Scouting Report: Vanderbilt's Junior Sherrill is a name you must know in 2026

Getting out ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft class, Vanderbilt's Junior Sherrill shares a lot of the same qualities as first rounder Omar Cooper Jr. from this past class.

We have our first scouting report of the 2027 NFL Draft summer scouting cycle! And first up is a player that I had on my early summer watchlist, Vanderbilt wide receiver Junior Sherrill.

Listed at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, Sherrill posted 784 yards receiving and seven touchdowns on 54 catches for the Commodores in 2025. He was second on the team in receiving, a team that had three receivers over 700 yards, as Diego Pavia spread the rock around. Now, with freshman phenom Jared Curtis at the helm, Sherrill will look to solidify himself as a potential top-50 player in the draft class as he enters his Senior season at Vanderbilt.

So, we saw what Sherrill put in the box score a year ago in Nashville, but what did he put on tape? I watched three games of Sherrill’s (Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas) to write up his summer scouting report and give him a preliminary grade.

Enjoy!
