Jalen Cropper was listed as a four-star recruit by ESPN coming out of high school and committed to play at Fresno State. Cropper was able to produce during his true freshman season in 2019, finishing seventh on the team in receiving yards. The following season, Cropper led the team in receptions (37), receiving yards (520), and receiving touchdowns (5) while only playing six games during the shortened season.
Cropper did not disappoint in his junior season. Playing a full 13-game season, Cropper once again led the team with receptions (85), receiving yards (899), and receiving touchdowns (11), while adding 76 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. In his final season at Fresno State, Cropper saw his touchdowns cut in half (5), but he topped the 1000-yard mark (1086) and led his team in receiving for a third-straight season. He ends his career top-10 in Fresno State history in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
