Four-year starter. Spent four seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to Florida for the 2024 season. He was the leading pass catcher at both programs in 2022 and 2024. A polished route runner who knows how to win both off the line and in the stem of his route. The experienced, savvy receiver does a lot of the little things right and it makes him a friendly target for the quarterback. He can win at the intermediate and deep levels of the route tree despite having average size and speed. The quick burst and well-timed breaks gain separation, and he will make the tough catches on a routine basis. Sudden burst off the line and ability to break right as the defender makes his move gets him a lot of route-based wins. Tracks the ball over his shoulder with excellent poise and accuracy. Accelerates through the catch point. Outstanding body control while moving at his top rate of speed. Drops his pads with ease and makes sharp cuts. Lacks size to play through contact and his final gear is not enough to stay over the top. Needs better strength and technique against press coverage. Too many drops and struggled to create on his own post-catch. The lack of production post-catch and inconsistent hands underneath make him a frustrating watch, but his issues are correctable. Despite less than ideal quarterback play, he was consistently productive when the opportunities were there.
2024 Stats: 42-783, 18.6 ypr, 2 TD. OSR:4/42. VJ-38.5, SS-4.27. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
