Miami | Hometown: Coconut Creek, FL | HT: 5095 | WT: 202 | 40 time: 4.85 | Hand: 0918 | Arm: 2958 | Wing: 7218
Three-year starter. Two-time first team All-ACC and a 2024 first team All-American. His competitive streak and knack for making the important play will be a fit in any locker room. Has a powerful and compact frame with less than ideal size. But there is more to him than sudden change of direction and a condensed catch radius. Solid on field IQ and is a menace after the catch. This is a player who feels the defense and can anticipate where to go and what to do both pre-snap and post-catch. Muscle-filled frame with tree trunk thighs. Has the build of a running back. Twitchy change of direction and reactions to the ball. Catches everything thrown his way, just nine career drops over 278 targets. A go-getter in contested situations. Shows late hands and natural adjustments. Will create on his own after the catch. Contact balance, strength, and vision are all in his arsenal with the ball in his hands. Lacks radius stemming from a diminutive wingspan. Short arms will create less margin for error for the quarterback. More of a quick burst guy than a speedster. Needs the initial advantage to create real, valid separation downfield. Shows some tightness and a lack of fluidity. His lack of size will limit him to primarily a slot role at the next level, as over 90% of his snaps came from that spot. He is a near-sure bet to be a trusty slot with return capabilities and a team-culture builder.
2024 Stats: 69-1127, 16.3 ypr, 11 TD. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
