BIO: Two-year starter who caught 23-459-4 in eight games as a senior after 24-413-5 the prior year. Preformed well at the Scouting Combine in February.

POSITIVES: Athletic tight end with a large degree of upside potential. Quick off the snap into his blocks or releasing into his pass routes. Fast and gets down the field into the secondary. Stays focused as a receiver, looks the pass in, displaying the ability to make the tough reception. Can slide his feet in pass protection, displays blocking range and works hard.

NEGATIVES: Gets tall at the point of attack, lacks blocking strength and has difficulty turning opponents out of the play. Not a natural receiver and fights the ball.

ANALYSIS: To this point more athlete than football player though he has shown signs of improvement the past two seasons.

PROJECTION: Early Sixth Round
