Two year starter. Second-team All-Big 10 in 2025. Started 26 games in his four years at USC. Has a good solid build for a tight end but slightly undersized. Not long, but sturdy. A tough player who will battle the defender. Shows good hands in his ability to make the critical catches. Shows a good football IQ and has a good understanding of what the offense is trying to get done. Understands defenses and can find the holes in zone coverage. Does a good job sitting in open areas. Has the quickness and speed to run the seams and can take the top off the defense. Is a mismatch for linebackers and is most effective in the slot. Does a solid job adjusting when the play breaks down. Gets his hands on defenders when in the running game. Gets to the second level and engages. Needs to work on his anchor. Has had multiple knee surgeries and some nagging injuries throughout his career. Needs to show improvement as a blocker. At this point, doesn't appear to be physical enough to be an inline blocker. He is a reliable player with special team experience. Could make it as a third tight end that makes use of 12 personnel.
2025 Stats: 30-450, 15.0 ypr, 4 TD. Draft projection: 6th/7th round
