Potential gem alert here.

He's ranked 204 in the class right now according to the mock database, but should he really be that low?

6'2", 200lbs. 33 inch arms. Blazing 6.71 3 cone. 4.15 shuttle. 4.43 dash. He was a reserve as a freshman, and was out in 2020 with a foot injury. In 2021, however, he broke out - led the Notre Dame offense with 888 receiving yards. 39 inch vert. He's an upper-echelon athlete.

9.89 Relative Athletic Score (RAS). That's good for 29th out of over 2500 WR prospects tracked.



So: He's got the athletic profile, and he's got the upward trajectory in his production. All that he's missing now is the hype.

I expect him to rise. If not, he's a steal if he goes near his current projection.

I haven't watched him just yet - but he's on the list.

I don't think WR is a position of need, but as a Day 3 prospect he sounds good.
