Three-year starter. All-Big 10 in 2023. Spent two seasons at West Virginia prior to transferring to Maryland. A possession receiver who shows multiple areas of refinement and development when it comes to the skill set of a receiver. Runs quality routes and understands how to get open at all three levels. Attacks the ball with his hands and has a large file of big time catches on balls away from his body. Poor quarterback play and questionable usage (60 less targets than teammate Tai Felton) has kept some of his potential under a blanket. He has size, shows the ability to separate vertically, and brings the ball in comfortably with his hands. Tall frame that plays strong and long. Extends himself for the ball into traffic without hesitation. Aggressive in contested situations. A physical guy who fights to play through contact with and without the ball. Urgent turn upfield post-catch. Can snap in and out of breaks. Needs to improve off the line. Takes too many steps and plays high. Was never a number one target and failed to produce a season of over 670 yards. Did not create a lot after the catch. Needs more success in downfield jump ball situations. Over the last two seasons he has shown enough to warrant a potential starter label to his projection.
2024 Stats: 56-624, 11.1 ypr, 4 TD. OSR:33/42. VJ-30.0. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
