Undersized but genuinely explosive slot receiver prospect whose short-area quickness and ball skills make him a problem the moment the ball is anywhere near him. Verified 5-foot-6.5, 165 pounds in April 2026, with a wingspan I'd guess close to 69 inches, which is slightly above average for his size, and he uses all of it. He carries his weight well throughout his frame in a lean, athletic build that's already filled out to a certain extent, and that's the honest limitation: his growth potential is limited, and I don't believe he can carry 185-plus pounds comfortably without sacrificing his athleticism.…
Top Attributes

Film Review Notes
Two-way athlete who lines up at corner and wide receiver. Verified size at 5-foot-6.5, 165 pounds in April 2026. Ran a laser-verified 4.69 in the 40-yard dash and 4.39 in the shuttle. Also jumped over 30 inches in the vertical and nearly 9 feet in the broad jump. His growth potential is limited, and his frame will struggle to add mass while maintaining athletic ability. But he's a twitchy, dynamic athlete with great change of direction and fluidity in space. On defense, he has a nose for the football and picked off four passes in his junior season. Showing off strong ball skills and instincts in coverage. He's willing to be physical, but has a tendency to get moved off of his spot when engaged with blockers. Needs to continue to get stronger and add functional strength at the point of attack. On offense, you can see the athletic ability jump off the screen. His burst off the line of scrimmage is excellent and allows him to accelerate through his routes. He reaches his top speed quickly and can take the top off of defenses pretty comfortably despite having above-average speed for the position at his size. He has excellent ball tracking downfield, is a very easy pass catcher, and can win vertically with ease. Does a good job of using his hands to attack the football. Despite his size, he goes up and attacks the football consistently and comes down with the occasional 50-50 ball. Strong with the football in his hands; extremely tough to bring down in the open field due to his elusiveness. Would like to see him continue to expand his route tree and become more advanced in his route running in the underneath and intermediate levels of the field, since that's where the majority of his damage will come from at the next level. Believe he's capable of playing defense at the next level, but his size will play a much bigger factor on that side of the ball as opposed to being a dominant gadget on the offensive side. Think his home will be as a slot receiver and potential ball carrier at the next level, and he should be able to carve out a role early due to his ball skills and explosiveness.
