Former running back that broke into the starting lineup two-years ago. Posted career numbers as a senior with 52/759/14.6/4 also averaging 19/27.6/2 returning kicks. Receiving numbers were 35/539/15.4/2 as a junior when the kick return totals were 15/231/0. Caught 11 passes as a redshirt sophomore.

Solid receiver whose kick return abilities could help him make a roster. For the most part, Consistent catching the ball; extends, looks the pass into his hands and plucks the errant throw out of the air. Smart, aware receiver with good concentration. Goes over the middle, comes back to the ball and helps out his quarterback. Good eye/hand coordination. Lacks top end speed and more of an underneath receiver. Not quick in or out of his breaks, lacks overall strength and has difficulty making the tough catch in traffic. Solid fourth receiver for a team that is looking for a kick returner. Mid Seventh Round.
