Awesome. I was hoping we’d get him.

He’s had some injury problems, but he should be a legit deep threat at this level, and we don’t much of that here right now.

He had a huge senior season in high school. 67 catches for 1,614 yards and 20 TDs in 13 games. 24.1 yards per reception. Incredibly consistent with no less than 3 and no more than 7 catches in any game. Seven games with 130 yards or more. His worst game 3-16 was in a blowout so he probably didn’t get targeted much.

Need someone to keep teams honest. Hope this is the guy. Hearing good things about Sperbeck’s offense. Underneath routes are expected to really complement the run game.

Haven’t seen his speed. And fluidity. Hopefully he can be a replacement for McCulloch.

Yes, it’ll be interesting to see how he moves.
Size wise and stats wise they’re very similar. Their senior year HS stats are nearly identical.

It’s a double move, but he shows some ability to stretch the field vertically.

Originally committed to Syracuse out of the portal but reopened his recruitment.
