Fifth-year senior who played extensively with the first unit since his redshirt sophomore season. Totaled 11/85/7.7/0 as a senior after 23/333/14.5/2 the prior year when he also averaged 35/10.1/0 returning punts. Posted career best receiving numbers of 30/411/13.7/1 in '99 when he also averaged 41/9.4/1 returning punts.
Inconsistent pass catcher with adequate skills as a return specialist. Effectively uses his body to shield away opponents, adjusts well to the errant throw and looks the pass in. Times and anticipates his receptions nicely, exposing himself to make the difficult catch in traffic. Not efficient catching the ball; gets airborne and unnecessarily leaves the ground for the reception. Lets the ball get inside him and tends to double-catch or bobble too many passes. Rounds off his routes, lacks the deep speed and not a physical wideout. Must really stand out on special teams if he's to have a chance at making a final roster. Free Agent.
