A TE/WR hybrid capable of clocking a 4.1 shuttle at 6'3, 200. For Kansas football, he's squarely one of those dudes that comes off the bus first. He has potential to add more to his frame or cut some weight and transition to receiver full-time. The scheme lined him up all over the formation, from traditional in-line to flexed out wide opposite trips — hinting at his potential as a mismatch advantage. For your typical tight end, he's a really advanced route runner. He possesses solid short-yardage burst and knows how to get open underneath routinely. And while perhaps not…

Film Review Notes
Rising senior WR/TE -- 6'3, 215. A Kansas power slot product that's capable of clocking a 4.1 shuttle. Logged 19 catches for 184 yards and 2 TDs in 8 games in 2025. Smooth mover getting vertical. No real strain in his cuts or route running. Above-average footwork. Effort on being crisp. Covers ground well after the catch. Solid catch radius and potential to high point off-target throws. Scheme lined him up all over formation, from next to tackles to flexed out wide opposite trips. A potential mismatch advantage. Vertical burst in his route tree seems capped. So he might be best suited peppering coverages in short or intermediate depths. His blocking effort is strong, but his angles and leverage need improvement. His frame offers him a good deal of potential so long as his technique comes along with his age.
