247Sports rank: 4-star | 92 rating | No. 186 Overall | No. 21 WR
Recruitment status: Committed to Kentucky
Measurables: 6-3 | 192
Scouting report: Verified at 6-foot-3 and 190-pounds plus, possesses ideal length and growth potential to add additional weight to his frame. Flashes good athleticism at the receiver position. Displays above average initial quickness and suddenness off the line of scrimmage and at the top of the route. Shows the ability to get in and out of breaks quickly, flashing some natural route running and separation ability. Appears to have above average play speed. Not typically known for his deep ball ability, but has more of a skill set that lends to his frame. Understands how to utilize his size and plays with a wide catch radius. Exhibits adequate play strength after the catch, flashes some wiggle and make you miss ability as a runner. Will need a year or two to continue to fully develop into his frame and add some polish to his route running ability, but has a chance to be a high level contributor by year three. Projects to a multi-year starter at the next level with athletic developmental upside. Limited production this year as a junior, missed time with a shoulder injury. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Cooper Petagna
NFL Draft projection: 4-7 Round (Day 3)
