BIO: Second-team All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 45 receptions for 350 yards. Honorable Mention MAC performer the prior season leading Buffalo in receiving with 42-441-4. Also led the conference in tight ends receptions as a junior.

POSITIVES: Large, strong prospect effective catching the ball or blocking on the line. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, looks the pass in and displays solid hands. Extends catching the ball away from his body then keeps the play in bounds and effective running after the catch. Concentrates and plays smart football. Works to bends his knees, gets movement from run blocks and slides laterally in pass protection.

NEGATIVES: Does not break down well, not nimble and lacks speed. Better in a small area.

ANALYSIS: Marginal athlete but understands the position and offers size with growth potential which could help him find a spot as a team's second tight end.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
