Noel will join college teammate Jayden Higgins in Houston as the Texans bolster their receiver room after losing Stefon Diggs to free agency and potentially losing Tank Dell to a long-term leg injury. Noel (5’10/194) spent all four years at Iowa State, breaking out in his third with a 66/820/7 receiving line. He leveled up as a senior with 1,194 yards and eight scores on 81 grabs. He led the Cyclones in receiving yards while fellow 2025 draftee Jayden Higgins paced the team in receptions and touchdowns. Noel ran nearly three-quarters of his career routes from the slot and only had an aDOT over 7.7 once, in his final season in which he had an aDOT of 12.2. Noel went on to crush the combine with a 4.39 Forty, 41.5” vertical, and an 11’2” broad. He even hit the bench for an astounding 23 reps, a mark five offensive linemen failed to clear. Noel left Indy with a 9.75 RAS. Noel is a ready-made slot receiver who has the speed to catch more than just underneath passes. He also returned kicks and punts in college, giving him a path to playing time as a rookie.
