Scouting Report
Lex Cyrus is a 4-star Wide Receiver from Harrisburg, PA (Susquehanna Township) in the 2025 class. Ranked No. 382 nationally. Composite rating: 0.8972. Committed to University of South Carolina.
Physical Profile
Listed at 5-10, 185 lbs. Taller than 10% and heavier than 58% of 2025 Wide Receiver prospects in the SEC Scouts database (203 with a listed size).
Play Style
Limited film availability makes definitive assessment challenging, but four-star rating suggests reliable hands, crisp route-running, and football IQ that compensates for any athletic limitations. Likely a possession-style receiver who wins through technique rather than elite speed.
Strengths
- High ceiling potential evidenced by four-star rating despite limited exposure
- Geographic advantage having developed in competitive Pennsylvania high school football environment
- Likely possesses strong hands and route-running fundamentals typical of Northeast receivers
Areas to Improve
- Exposure and competition level - needs to prove himself against higher-caliber defensive backs
- Physical development and strength training to maximize college-ready frame
College Projection
Projects as a developmental prospect who could emerge as a reliable target by sophomore or junior year. Will need time to adjust to SEC speed and physicality but has the talent foundation to become a consistent contributor in South Carolina's offense.
NFL Outlook
Limited data makes NFL projection difficult, but four-star rating suggests potential professional upside if he maximizes development at the college level
Best Fit
South Carolina's offensive system appears ideal - a program that can develop overlooked talent while providing the patience needed for his physical and technical maturation in a Power Five environment
Player Comparison
Both are undersized possession receivers (Landry was 5'11" 196 lbs) who compensate for limited speed with exceptional route-running precision and reliable hands. Like this prospect, Landry was a highly-rated recruit who maximized his technique and football IQ to become a consistent target, excelling in short-to-intermediate routes and contested catch situations despite lacking elite athletic measurables.
