What PFF says about new Auburn WR Jyaire Shorter

Auburn has landed former North Texas receiver Jyaire Shorter to bolster up a wide receiver room that is in desperate need of help.

Shorter is a six-foot-two 218-pound wideout that will fit in perfectly with what Coach Freeze wants to do with this offense.

Shorter's stat line from last season was a really interesting one. He caught 23 passes for 628 yards and 11 touchdowns, giving him a whooping 27 yards per catch.

Shorter is a big play wideout with an elite mix of strength and speed. His big play ability is incredible, and it seems like he caught a long touchdown almost every game last season for North Texas.

It's arguably one of the best pickups Freeze and his staff have gotten in the portal this spring. Shorter is one of 18 commits that make up the Tigers' No. 3 transfer portal class (per 247Sports national rankings).

Here's a look at what Pro Football Focus has to say about Shorter.
