Former walk-on that broke in to the starting lineup as a senior posting 29/433/14.9/1, considerably down from his junior campaign when he totaled 37/675/18.2/10 as a reserve. Played in 11 games as a sophomore and totaled 14/202/14.4/4.
Compactly built receiver with solid size/speed numbers. Uses his body to shield away opponents, wins out in battles, displaying good focus and concentration throughout the play. Adjusts well, gets up to make the athletic grab, looking the pass into his hands. Flashes strong hands on occasion but overall not consistent and lets the pass get inside him, clutching the ball against his body. Lacks the second gear or ability to beat defenders down the flanks, does not time or anticipate his receptions well and has difficulty catching the ball running full tilt. Not quick in or out of his breaks nor has he been overly productive. Did not take the next step up as a senior when the opportunity was afforded him and as a result his draft rankings will suffer. Early Fifth Round.
