Junior entry. Two year starter. Played in 25 games in his last two seasons with the Cornhuskers, catching 61 passes with four touchdowns. Three time Academic All-Big 10 and a big part of several citizenship groups on campus. Long and lean he played both attached and in the slot. A scrappy high motor player who will mix it up. His playing style could be described as a finisher. Has a good burst off the ball. Flashes effectiveness using his wide base to block inline. Normally successful sealing the edge in the outside zone scheme. Tenacious second effort to stay with blocks. Solid route runner after the stem. A good threat at the top of the route. Has steady hands to snare the intermediate routes. Shows speed to win at the second level. Needs to get separation better at the line of scrimmage. needs to get his eyes back to the quarterback sooner in his routes. Some of his pass routes look a little sloppy. Must continue to develop strength and bulk to help him become more physical at the point of attack. A busy player always trying to get in the action. Has had an injury history early in his career. An athlete with good hands and a competitive nature who has potential to be a second tight end on most teams.
