Standing 6-foot and 185-chiseled-pounds, he was a standout on the 7-0 middle school team before being moved up to the high school level in early October.

He's a a long, lean kid at 6-foot-3 and 175-pounds that can already dunk a basketball.

Extremely exciting player to watch on offense as a Wide Receiver and on defense as a Defensive Back.

He is a long-limbed, high-cut kid with a motor that doesn't stop, and allows him to chase down plays from behind.
