First-year starter at wide receiver that’s impacted as a return specialist since his sophomore campaign. Caught 30/378/12.6/3 as a senior also averaging 20/12.3/0 on punt returns and 27/22/0 returning kicks. Played in nine games as a junior when he caught 21/246/11.7/2 and averaged 15/5.5/0 on punts and 17/23/0 on kicks. Top return specialist in the conference as a sophomore when his punt return numbers were 19/13.3/1 and kick return totals were 15/27.9/2.
Small but tough receiver whose value lies on special teams. Concentrates to make the difficult reception, uses his body to shield away opponents, extending and exposing in traffic. Quick transitioning from catching the ball to running after the reception. Good route runner that displays quickness in and out of his breaks and stays low exiting them. Uses the sidelines effectively and catches the pass in stride or makes the reception running full tilt. Short, has difficulty going against bigger opponents and lacks the deep speed. Does not possess strong hands and does some body catching. Steady as a return specialist the past four years but not brilliant or spectacular. Could be used in that role at the next level while also filling the spot as a team's fifth receiver. Free Agent.
