The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Explosive receiver with high-end movement skills. Well-built at a shade over 6-foot-0.5 and 195 pounds. Has average to below average length with 30.75-inch arms. A dominant player on Friday nights, turning in a very productive senior season, while leading his team to a state title appearance. Caught 95 passes for 1,449 yards and 19 touchdowns. 
Looks like the best athlete on the field at all times on Friday nights. Easily runs past out-matched defenders for long scores. Has potential as a deep threat and field stretcher. A fluid mover, with loose hips. Explosive in and out of his breaks. Functional athleticism points toa high upside as a route-runner with continued technical development. Physical after the catch. Briefly transferred to IMG Academy prior to his senior year before heading back to Indiana. Also has a basketball background. Does not have an overly large catch radius and can continue working on his consistency in catching the football away from his body, though he made progress in that area as a senior. Did not play top competition at the high school level, so may need time to adjust to the uptick in speed once at the college level. Has a late birthday for the cycle, not turning 18-years old until June prior to his freshman season of college.
