Stribling is an experienced and productive wideout with good size, speed, and blocking chops. After two seasons at Washington State and another two at Oklahoma State, he finished his career at Ole Miss, reeling in 55 catches for 811 yards and a team-high six touchdowns in 2025. Stribling brings the speed and acceleration to take the top off a defense, quickly stacking corners to win vertically. He tracks the ball beautifully and shows his hands late to secure the pass. He positions himself well to win back-shoulder throws and brings a big catch radius. He flashes the ability to lay out to grab off-target throws and to go up high to pluck the ball. He has really reliable hands, with just one drop in 2025 and nine total in his career (a 4.0 percent drop rate). He takes advantage of big cushions from defenders on comeback and hook routes, and he gets himself open on scramble-drill plays. He shows good burst to pick up yards after the catch, securing the ball while hitting the nitrous oxide boosters to run away from coverage. He blocks hard and seems to take great pleasure in knocking defensive backs on their ass.
Stribling lacks short-area burst and agility, and there are times when he seems to play much slower than you’d expect based on his timed speed. He can struggle to separate underneath. He’s very inconsistent at the catch point and fails to play through contact. He needs to use his frame to shield defenders more consistently.
