BIO: Two-year starter who posted career numbers as a senior catching 42 passes for 463 yards with five scores. Caught 7-102-0 as a junior after stepping in for the injured Jerramy Stevens.

POSITIVES: Athletic prospect that may just be hitting his stride. Breaks down and plays with Good body lean, quick off the snap into his pass routes and easily moves about the field. Displays solid eye-hand coordination, adjusts well to the oncoming pass and makes the athletic reception over the middle. Finds the open seam in the field and turned into a reliable target as a senior. Works hard as a blocker, stays square and keeps opponents in front of him.

NEGATIVES: Must improve his footwork, blocking strength and overall technique. Makes poor use of blocking angles, body positioning and does not look like a natural receiver.

ANALYSIS: May not have the ideal height for a true tight end but if he keeps progressing a fine developmental prospect.

PROJECTION: Late Seventh Round
