Declares for NFL Draft
Lemon won't play in the Alamo Bowl against TCU on Dec. 30 as he focuses on the 2026 NFL Draft, per Greg Beacham of the Associated Press.
ANALYSIS
Lemon, the 2025 Biletnikoff winner, will unsurprisingly sit out the Alamo Bowl as he preps for the NFL Draft. No official announcement has come from the receiver about entering the 2026 NFL Draft, but after he was just deemed the best wideout in college football following a junior season in which he reeled in 79 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns, the next level beckons. He'll be one of the draft's top prospects in 2026.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ranked 11th-best prospect by Yates
Lemon is ranked 11th in Field Yates of ESPN.com's list of prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
The USC product had a dominant final collegiate season in 2025, finishing with 110 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns across 12 games, logging at least 10 catches and 150 yards in three of those contests. While he isn't the biggest or fastest wide receiver in this year's draft class, Yates believes that Lemon is the best amongst his peers at making contested catches. In his first mock draft of the year, Jordan Reid of ESPN.com has the Rams selecting Lemon with the 13th overall pick of the draft, pairing the rookie with the lethal one-two pass-catching punch of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
