Versatile offensive prospect that spent time at running back, tight end and wide receiver in college. Moved in and out of the starting lineup the past two seasons depending on the type of offensive scheme Oklahoma implemented at the beginning of the game. Finished his senior campaign catching 45/405/9/2 after junior totals of 31/469/15.1/1 and 16/180/11.3/4 as a sophomore.

Solid pass catcher that projects to H-back at the next level. Nice-sized target that is fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, extends and plucks the high ball out of the air. Times and anticipates his receptions correctly, looks the ball in and effectively uses the sidelines. Good body control and has a penchant for finding the open spot down the field. Undersized to be considered for a full-time tight end and has not handled the ball enough for any consideration at running back. A good third down or red zone target at the next level. Late Sixth Round.
