A slot receiver who bounced through three different programs, Raylen Sharpe found his most efficient season yet at Arkansas before signing with the Colts as an undrafted free agent.
Raylen Sharpe's college career took him from Missouri State to Fresno State to Arkansas, where he settled in as a reliable slot target with a knack for yards after the catch. He went unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with the Indianapolis Colts, looking to carve out a role after years of high-volume, if inconsistent, college production.
Path to the league
Sharpe began his college career at Missouri State, where he drew 100 targets, before transferring to Fresno State in 2024 and seeing 69 targets. He transferred again to Arkansas for his final season, then went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with the Indianapolis Colts as a free agent.
Career highlights
Sharpe has operated primarily out of the slot throughout his college career and built a reputation for picking up yards after the catch, averaging 6.3 yards after catch in his final season. His high-target usage across three different programs gave him a substantial college sample for evaluators to work from.
2025 season recap
In his lone season at Arkansas in 2025, Sharpe caught 41 of 61 targets for an average of 14.4 yards per catch and three touchdowns. The production helped him land an undrafted free agent deal with the Colts after the 2026 NFL Draft.
