EVALUATION

- selected to the 2020 Shrine Bowl
- first thing that stands out is that he makes contested catches; tough thru contact; good focus in traffic
- wins at the catch point; good body control
- works the middle of the field
- doesn't have elite long speed but is plenty fast enough after the catch to breakaway
- reliable hands; soft hands, strong grip, secures the ball
- willing blocker; keeps his feet moving and drives defenders backwards; doesn't just 'get in the way' of guys, he stays active
- solid route runner with room for improvement; displays understanding of nuances to help create separation (stems, eye/head fakes, choppy feet, etc.); understands how to get open and make himself available
- explodes off the ball; clean releases; runs with active, open, hands; strong, violent arm pumps
- provides versatility; can play outside, inside, used in sweeps & reverses
- smooth, fluid movement in the open field; offers good YAC ability
- makes quick cuts and is decisive with movement; finds openings and works to get thru them
- plays with toughness & physicality when necessary; has a finesse style to his game as well
- great frame with room for added muscle mass
- also a high jumper for Track & Field team (had a 6'4" high jump as of March 7, 2020
- great athlete with tremendous potential
