Jalen Reagor was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round with the 21st overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
A native of Waxahachie, Texas, Jalen Reagor attended Waxahachie High School, where he became a star in both football and track & field for the Indians.
On the football field, Reagor produced back to back 1,000-yard receiving seasons for Waxahachie head coach and former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna and was selected to play in 2017 Under Armour All-America Game. His track & field career culminated with a gold medal in the long jump at the 2017 Texas High School state meet.
Reagor enrolled at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas in the summer of 2017 and made his collegiate debut in the Horned Frogs’ season opener against Jackson State with two receptions in TCU’s 63–0 victory.
Before his sophomore season, Reagor switched to jersey number 1 from the 18 he’d worn in 2017. That fall, he became the Frogs’ go-to receiver in a season in which they used three different starting quarterbacks, becoming the first TCU receiver to top 1,000 yards since Josh Doctson.
He had a streak of 7 straight games with a receiving touchdown, which included a win against Oklahoma State in which he also recorded his first career 100-yard rushing game. Following the season, he was named 2nd-team All-Big 12.
In his 2019 season, he had 43 catches for 611 yards. Reagor declared for the 2020 NFL Draft after this season, forgoing his final year of eligibility.
He was subsequently selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of TCU, emerging as the highest-drafted wide receiver to come from TCU since former All-American Josh Doctson in 2016.
On July 20, 2020, Reagor signed a 4-year $13.3 million contract with the team, with a fifth-year team option.
On August 31, 2022, the Eagles traded Reagor to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round pick as well as a 2024 conditional fourth-round pick.
