Junior entry, three-year starter. Two time All-Pac 12, first team in 2024 in addition to first team All-America honors. Arrived in Tucson as the program’s highest rated recruit with a unique volleyball background. He was a lean, slender-framed receiver who needed to get faster and put some meat on his bones. Mission accomplished to both. He gained 30 pounds and added two miles per hour to his speed measurement since his freshman summer. While doing so, he was also producing at a high level. Led freshmen nationally with 702 receiving yards in 2022 and set a new career mark at Arizona with 3,423 yards in just three seasons. Possesses multiple elite traits that make him both a big play threat and security net for a passer. He is effective and proven throughout all areas of the route tree and with the ball in his hands. Light, precise footwork that complement his long, dense frame. Can alter his releases against press coverage. Physical, aggressive, and strong. Outstanding use of leverage and tempo to create and lengthen separation. Ball skills, notably on downfield passes, are elite. Attacks the ball with his hands. Works his way to the ball and will beat defenders to the spot. Volleyball background shows up in contested situations. Reaches the ball at the apex of his leap and extension consistently. Menace after the catch that will play big. Fights through weak tackle attempts. Lack of pure speed and explosion will minimize separation against pro corners. Needs time and space to reach that final gear. Saw an increase in drops in 2024 on several routes where he was moving toward the middle of the field. Can be a true number one at the next level in an offense that creates opportunities for receivers to go up and get the ball.
