He has solid size, breakaway speed, and impeccable catching abilities, making him a specialist at gaining yards after the catch. His skills as a deep threat give him an advantage in one-on-one jump-ball situations that he finishes by violently ripping the ball away from the defender.

He has good size and speed with reliable hands, but he excels at locating the ball and tracking it all the way into the catch. His acceleration out of his breaks helps him create space from defenders, adding to his appeal.

He completed his junior campaign as the second-leading receiver in yards with 1,286, proving himself as a legitimate security blanket for his quarterback. He has a solid frame with excellent strength and powerful running abilities, making him a tough ball carrier to bring down. Lumpkin possesses the qualities of an elite prospect with D1 attributes, putting him on pace to be the biggest stock-riser in the class once his recruiting gets going.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["514396"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eCobb is a talented receiver with a high ceiling. He was the top-targeted receiver for the 4A state champions because of his blazing speed and impressive athleticism. He has the size and deep-threat abilities to be an outside receiver and the speed and route-running skills to line up in the slot. Regardless of where he starts, he can move defenders with his shifty release and exploit secondaries with his overall speed. Cobb is a player who could thrive in the right program, making him a must-scout athlete.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["503780"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eMeredith is an extremely talented multi-sport athlete who does an excellent job at the little things. He is a physical receiver with a true competitor's mentality, giving him an advantage when blocking, making catches in the middle of the field, and lowering his shoulder for contact.

He is a solid route runner with shifty breaks and good athleticism. His impressive catching abilities give him a wide catch radius, thanks to his impeccable focus and strong hands. His show-stopping catches helped him stand out during the most recent Prep Redzone Showcase, making him a radar low-flyer to know.
