I am 16 year old follower of Christ and a 2028 Tight End/Defensive End  from Warrenton, VA (Kettle Run High School).  Last year, I was a 15 game starter at Tight End for the 2025 3A VA State Runners Up (13-2).  1180 PSAT. 3.8 GPA.  I am taking the SAT in October and will forward scores on request.

Both parents played sports in college (Dad played football at WVU and Mom played basketball at Lincoln University)  I’ve lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Missouri, and Kansas. I plan to attend college and major in Business.

A lanky three-sport junior. While also being a big man for his basketball team and a member of the track team, he starts both ways as a tight end and defensive end. At a self-reported 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he has long arms and an excellent frame that invites added weight down the line. He boasts a self-reported 79-inch wingspan and 10.5-inch hands. His reach raises his ceiling on both sides of the ball. And after a month of play, he has totaled 12 receptions for 186 yards and five scores. He's on track to average over 15 yards per catch for the second-straight season.

His wingspan is visible: he wins at the catch point and adjusts to off-target passes, which he did numerous times on tape. He does not catch targets with his body, and he has a good understanding of how to use his length to complete plays in traffic, though overall strength could improve. He was a clear red-zone target for his offense.

He has a great first step. His short-area quickness and burst are great for the position. It really shows up in his launch and get-off on defense, but he also covers ground well as a pass catcher. His acceleration does top out, and he wouldn't be considered a blazer, though his speed is more than serviceable for a tight end or slot receiver.

He is fluid attacking all areas of the field, and he's already shown improvement in refining the crispness of his routes compared to his sophomore tape. He's being split out more as a junior, which hints at how his team views his ability to win downfield and provide splash plays.

He isn't a deliberate mover, but he isn't overly twitchy either. There isn't much creativity or physicality in how he runs after the catch. His production comes via speed and vision, running to green grass more than looking to make defenders miss.

He is a willing and active blocker who churns his feet through contact and controls the edge. He possesses good hands and balance. But he can be a little high after engagement, and there are too few clips of him successfully blocking bigger defenders.

He's still a bit more raw defensively, but has traits that translate. He has the length to control the edge of the front. And his aforementioned great get-off inherently makes him intriguing. Still, he needs to show more consistency holding his ground, defeating double teams, and displaying a plan for rushing the passer.

As a two-way player, he'll need to add some more weight to his frame, no matter which side of the ball he chooses to specialize. But he gives consistent effort on the field. His ball skills, length, and natural athleticism could see him develop into a Group of Six player.
