Scout.com Player Evaluation:
STRENGTHS
 Downfield Threat
 Quickness off Line
 Speed
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Durability
 Hands and Concentration
 Route-Running Skills
Has elite acceleration and speed. Can run past almost any defender and is dangerous in the open field. Is also an outstanding return man who can go the distance at any point in time. Shows toughness and willingness to block and go into traffic. Makes some tough grabs, but must continue to become more consistent catching the ball. Creates separation with quickness, but must continue to improve route running as well. Needs to add weight/durability


Biography:
Played a role since his freshman season and started as a sophomore and junior. Has amassed over 1,000 all purpose yards the past two seasons as a WR/RB/QB. Had two interceptions from his cornerback spot on defense. Outstanding performer in track as well and won the state title in the 100m dash as a sophomore.
