Fifth-year prospect that's had difficulty staying on the football field. Totaled 4/37/9.2/1 as a senior when he played in nine games. Caught a single pass for nine yards as a junior tearing two knee ligaments during the season's first game which cut short his season. Caught 14/162/11.6/2 as a sophomore after an ankle injury shelved him for half the campaign.

Athletic tight end who’s flashed ability in college but no consistency due to injuries. Plays low with leverage, fluid releasing off the line and possesses above average tight end speed. Works his hands and tries to stay square blocking but bends at the waist, ducks his head and displays minimal strength at the point of attack. Never built upon what seemed to be a promising sophomore season and a medical risk at this point. Free Agent.
