OverviewVery productive small school stud for the Patriot League's historically best program.
Has 171 career catches for 2797 yards and 28 TDs. Possesses most of the Red Raiders career passing marks and has a fine 16.4 career ypc mark. Made one of the finest catches at the East-West Shrine Game when he went up high for the ball and embarrassed two defenders. StrengthsBig and tall. Above average hands. Very, very strong (may do 22+ reps on the bench) for a WR, can break the jam, and has decent ups. Young, with loads of upside and the opportunity to grow into a TE, if asked to convert. Really uses his body well to shield defenders, and can overpower most DBs down the field. Willing blocker and ST performer who has returned kicks, run reverses, etc. Versatility is a plus. Similar to UF's Riley Cooper in several ways, but is bigger and stronger. Solid citizen and former captain. Smart.
WeaknessesNot a speed merchant (Est. 4.62). Has never played the position for which he is probably best suited (TE) and is a projection to that position and a project due to his LOC resume and lack of blazing speed. Probably too slow to stay at WR. May have trouble running crisp enough routes to get open if left at WR.
Projection7th-UDFA who will return very good value if taken (or signed) this late.
