Highlights:
Player Breakdown: Standing around 6-2 and175 lbs., he would most likely play as an inside receiver in Dino Babers’s offense. He ran a 4.52 40 yard dash so he is not likely a deep threat. He is a solid route runner and gets out of his break form the line of scrimmage well. With no breakaway speed, he is more likely a physical receiver. He also averaged 25 points for his high school basketball team, so he is a possible two-sport athlete.
