Two-year starter. Earned All-CAA honors in both 2023 and 2024, first team in 2023 where he also finished as an All-American. An undersized, multi-use back with explosive play potential. Coming from a lower level of college football, he proved to be a step quicker in a phone booth and capable of out-running angles in space. There is not enough size or power to drive through NFL defenders but he can make guys miss and create problems in space. Plays with good tempo and patience before using his burst and explosion. Shows the balance and control to take advantage of sudden windows and creases. Natural receiver that sees the ball into his hands. Shows plus-route capability. Will get in the way as a blocker. Does not fall forward as a rusher. Will not create enough power to push defenders. Limited usage and physical capability at that size. Will need to be more aggressive with the ball. Did not offer much on special teams. Snappy burst and ability to put his cleats in the ground and pounce on open space in addition to reliable, receiver-caliber hands will give him a shot at being a third down weapon.
2024 Stats: 844 yds, 6.3 ypc, 6 TD, 17 rec, 297 yds, 17.5 ypr, 5 TD. OSR:16/27. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
