Excels as a deep threat with great high point and adjustment ability to attack the ball in the air. Leaping ability and length allows him to go over the top of defenders and rip the ball away. Strong coordination and body control with exceptional radius at the catch point to make difficult plays in traffic look routine. Flashes a hard drive phase and good acceleration off the LOS to push vertically and stretch the defense. Developing route runner that can release against press coverage and then stack to create separation. Combination of natural athleticism, spatial awareness, and size make him a difficult tackle after the catch with the ability to turn short/intermediate receptions into large gains. Comes in ranked as the top 2029 WR holding two D1 offers with great upside that should see his recruitment skyrocket.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Gifted athlete with a dynamic skillset that can impact the game in all three phases. Great all around game speed from the short area quickness to the long speed to stretch the field. Very fluid with his movement showing he can drop his hip level and accelerate coming out of the break to create separation. Displays natural and confident ball skills and judgement ability, attacking the ball with extended hands to keep it away from his frame. Electric after the catch, using burst, agility, and elusiveness to turn routine touches into explosive plays. Great feel for where defenders are and instinctual moves to breakaway in the open field.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Exceptional athlete who checks a lot of boxes for a future major D1 defensive back. Brings impressive length at 6'2”, 170 pounds paired with track-level speed that allows him to stay in phase at all three levels of the field. Excels in man coverage, showing clean technique, sharp footwork, and the patience to stay balanced through the release.

Flashes excellent change of direction and burst showing the ability to stay attached and run the route with opponents, matching their tempo and transitions with ease. Holds five D1 offers with three of them being P4 programs.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Possesses ideal size and length at 6'4”, 240 pounds, giving him true positional versatility across the defensive line. He's built to play anywhere from strong-side end to interior spots on passing downs, and his frame still has room to add good weight without sacrificing movement skills. A natural athlete with fluidity and coordination, he moves far better than most players his size and shows the range to make impact plays from the backside or downfield. Explosive first step off the ball, he consistently beats offensive linemen out of their stance, creating early penetration and disrupting plays before they develop. He shows impressive lateral mobility, working down the line with ease while maintaining balance and working through traffic. As a run defender, he anchors well and plays with strong hands. As a pass rusher, he flashes a high ceiling with the tools to win with speed, power, or counter movement. Holds three D1 offers from Arizona State, Sacramento State, and Kansas to date.</p>
