Instincts: He controls his body well down the field and protects the ball through contact despite his compact, smaller frame. 

Polish: Shows variability in his release at times and can get on top of defenders in a hurry but lacks consistency and can struggle with press coverage. Needs to improve his ability to stem and leverage at the college level. 

Bottom Line: A smaller, well-defined receiver with the ability to work the seam and middle of the field effectively. He displays consistent ball skills and body control down the field. He needs to improve route variation and ability to create separation from defenders at the next level. He projects as a contributor at the Power 5 level.
