Three-year starter that led the team in receiving as a senior posting 37/539/14.6/5 and averaging 18/5.3/0 returning punts. Again, led the program in receiving as a junior his numbers were 38/676/17.8/8 and averaged 23/9/1 returning punts. Finished with 38/604/15.9/4 after breaking into the starting lineup as a redshirt sophomore, again leading the team in receptions.

Speedy wide-out with a burst of speed and the ability to break it down the field. Displays nice running form, quick accelerating down the flanks and possesses a second gear. Times and anticipates his receptions well, displays both focus and concentration, making the tough grab in a crowd. Adjusts well to the throw running full speed and catches the pass in stride. Good eye/hand coordination and for the most part catches the ball away from his body. Quick footed and elusive running after the catch and an active target with consistent hands. Small, loses out in battles and not always willing to extend if he hears footsteps. Could be an effective third wide-out for a team at the next level and a possible slot receiver whose punt return skills are added value. Late Sixth Round.
