- He is a very raw wide receiver that still has a lot to work on and a lot of room for improvement.
- He really attacks the ball well, he is a physical player, and he is someone that does not mind blocking for his teammates.
- He needs to work on the little things - sticking his routes, getting off the line quicker, and learning to use his big frame to his advantage against tight coverage.
- He is not going to be a real vertical threat, but he can be someone who goes across the middle, someone who can line up inside or outside in different sets, and someone who can make catches in traffic.
- Overall, this is a solid get for UT. Is he a no. 1 type of wide receiver, no, but he is someone who will contribute. He loves to compete, he is a hard worker, and he will improve once he gets on campus as he looks to become a better all around wideout. I like his size, he will get over 200 pounds quickly, and he will be a physical kid in the SEC.
