Currently ranked among the top 300 juniors in Pennsylvania’s 2028 class and the top 50 wide receivers, although I believe he is closer to the top 30 at his position. He is now listed at 6’2, 200 pounds, having added 10 pounds since my previous evaluation, and carries an impressive 3.8 GPA. That additional weight looks good on tape. He appears more physically developed, with a stronger, more defined build that looks considerably closer to what college coaches want to see. He has only posted once on Twitter this season, which is a little concerning, but fortunately that post featured a midseason highlight reel covering his first five games. Through that stretch, he recorded 11 receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns, along with more than 20 tackles, one sack and three pass breakups. That is substantial two way production for a player I currently rank as a wide receiver but could also envision playing linebacker or safety at the next level.

His midseason tape runs nearly three minutes on Hudl and opens with him aligned as a traditional tight end, working from a three point stance directly alongside the offensive tackle. He releases at the line of scrimmage, works a seam bending route and finishes with a difficult touchdown reception. I particularly appreciate his willingness to attack the football in traffic, especially in an area of the field where defenders have opportunities to deliver significant contact. At 6’2, 200 pounds, he certainly has the physical profile to function as a tight end at the high school level. I’m less certain that would be his eventual collegiate position, but the rep is still valuable because it demonstrates his hands, concentration and comfort catching passes between the hashes. He doesn’t appear intimidated by the possibility of contact and does a good job securing the football in a crowded area.

His second rep gives us an entirely different look, with him split outside the numbers in an ace formation. This is where some of his athletic ability becomes more apparent. He runs a hitch, secures the football cleanly with his hands and demonstrates better ability after the catch than I might have expected from a player with his build. He runs through two or three attempted tackles, maintaining his balance and generating additional yardage through contact. His third rep again has him working outside the numbers as a flanker, this time running a comeback route. I like how he sells the vertical nine route, eats up the cushion provided by the defensive back and forces the defender to respect the possibility of a deep throw. He then breaks down, redirects toward the line of scrimmage and creates an easy throwing window for a first down. That is a more subtle route than I expected to see from him, and it shows that his receiving ability extends beyond simply using his size to overpower smaller defenders.

I don’t necessarily envision him being asked to run that particular comeback route consistently at the collegiate level, depending on where he eventually projects, but I appreciate that he is showcasing his versatility and route running ability. His fourth rep returns him to an in line tight end alignment, where he releases into a corner route and makes an impressive touchdown catch in the back of the end zone. He presents a comfortable throwing window for his quarterback, tracks the football well and finishes with soft hands in a relatively confined area. Between the seam touchdown, hitch, comeback and corner route, he is demonstrating a surprisingly diverse receiving skill set. He can work between the hashes, contribute outside the numbers, handle contact and create opportunities through both physicality and route execution.

His fifth rep transitions to the defensive side of the football, where he aligns at outside linebacker and immediately demonstrates why I believe that position could be part of his future. He recognizes a down blocker attempting to establish the edge for an approaching running back, identifies the developing concept and attacks before the blocker can establish control. He blows up the block, sheds inside and finishes with an excellent solo tackle. I love the recognition and physicality here, particularly how quickly he understands what the offense is attempting to accomplish. Another defensive rep has him working in zone coverage from an outside linebacker alignment. He recognizes a receiver crossing his face, drifts with the developing route and positions himself to record a pass breakup. That is an encouraging example of his coverage awareness and ability to contribute beyond traditional run defense responsibilities.

What makes this midseason tape particularly interesting is how much positional versatility he demonstrates within the first several reps. He can align as an in line tight end, split outside as a receiver, run a variety of routes, create yardage after contact and contribute defensively as an outside linebacker. His improved 200 pound frame gives him additional physical tools to work with, and I wouldn’t be surprised if his long term collegiate projection eventually shifts toward linebacker or a hybrid defensive role. He has enough athletic ability to contribute in coverage and enough physicality to handle responsibilities near the line of scrimmage. At the same time, I don’t want to dismiss his receiving ability, because the offensive reps show legitimate hands, route awareness and versatility.

Overall, this is a very encouraging midseason evaluation for a prospect who I already considered one of Pennsylvania’s better junior wide receivers. His added size, strong academics and production on both sides of the football strengthen his case for a higher ranking, particularly if he continues demonstrating this level of versatility. I still want to see more complete production and additional film before making a definitive decision about his best collegiate position, but he is certainly trending in the right direction. I have him sitting on the fringe of a Division I grade, and this tape gives me more confidence in that projection. Whether he ultimately develops as a wide receiver, tight end or outside linebacker, there is plenty of potential here, and I’m excited to see what he puts on film over the remainder of the season.
