• College: Georgia State
• Bye week (2026): 10
• 2026 Draft: Mid-round pick (5-6)

2026 Outlook

Rookie WR from Georgia State who tested well athletically and has impressed Buccaneers brass in rookie minicamp. Despite limited college pedigree due to small-school background, GM Jason Licht clearly saw something on film and valued his speed, fluidity, and quickness. The Buccaneers positioned Hurst as an "X" receiver and view him as a potential long-term replacement for Mike Evans rather than an immediate contributor. Hurst represents ideal value at the position in the mid-rounds of the draft, though realistic expectations should be tempered — he's a project player with upside rather than a season-long contributor in 2026 (per Buccaneers have another WR to get hyped about).

Role / Depth Chart
