Four-year starter. Spent three seasons at Kentucky where he made a name for himself as a return specialist. Transferred to LSU in 2025. Was the number one receiver for Kentucky as a true freshman. Made his presence known as an all-purpose big play threat but was truly a standout on special teams. His three kick return touchdowns in 2023 led the nation. He never quite developed consistency as a receiver, finishing with a high drop rate three straight years and struggling with nuances of route running. His calling card will be as a returner with real, blazing speed. Is on the verge of a returner-only player but he has improved his hand mechanics and ball skills in traffic, thus can be viewed as a last-receiver on the depth chart while providing immediate value on special teams. Long strider who continues to build speed the further into space he gets. Can impact the game in several ways. Scored multiple touchdowns as a receiver, rusher, and returner. Improved strength at catch point in 2025. Can react to the ball away from his frame late. Does not carry athleticism over to agility and small areas. Gets high out of his breaks and will struggle to smoothly alter his weight. Does not track the deep pass well. Loses balance and awareness. Too many drops with repeated issues coming back to the ball. Will soften on contact and did not break tackles.
