Four-year starter that was an All-Conference selection last season as both a wideout and return specialist. Played in nine games as a senior and led the team in receiving with 28/546/19.5/3, while averaging 18/27.6/0 returning kicks. Junior totals were 46/768/16.7/6 as a receiver with 28/16.8/0 returning punts and 12/24.5/0 on kick returns.
Tough, intelligent versatile skill player. Quick releasing off the line of scrimmage as a receiver, displays solid route running skills and gets separation from opponents. Goes over the middle, finds the open spot on the field and comes back to the ball making himself an available target for the quarterback. Moves with speed on his crossing routes, times and anticipates the receptions well and cleanly catches the ball in stride. Gets up vertically and adjusts in mid air making the difficult catch. Impacts the game with his abilities as a return specialist. Elusive when the ball is in his hands and picks up positive yardage with both his brains and athletic skills. Lacks the top end speed, does not get separation down the field and small. Gives top effort but still loses out to bigger opponents. Will make it as a slot receiver at the next level only if he shows the abilities to help a team as a return specialist in camp this summer, which he has the abilities to do. Mid Sixth Round.
