A watchlisted Pennsylvania 2028 prospect who has added five pounds since our previous profile update, now standing 6’0, 155 pounds. He has posted just three times this season, although he uploaded a two-minute junior midseason highlight reel to Hudl approximately a week ago that has yet to appear on his Twitter. This is an important evaluation for me because he’s essentially a new prospect from a film standpoint. I’ve heard his name mentioned previously and believe I may have seen him compete on the 7-on-7 circuit, but this is my first opportunity to study a consolidated highlight reel. I’m particularly interested in determining how he compares with the wide receiver and defensive back prospects already represented in our Pennsylvania 2028 rankings.

His opening highlight features him aligned outside the numbers, where he immediately demonstrates encouraging vertical ability. He eats up the defensive back’s cushion with his release, accelerates downfield and tracks a well-placed pass that initially doesn’t appear to be coming his way. He adjusts, runs underneath the football and secures the reception before being tackled approximately 40 yards downfield. I appreciate his stride length and how efficiently he covers ground. He doesn’t need excessive movement to generate separation, and his ability to track the football while maintaining speed gives him legitimate potential as a vertical receiving threat.

Another impressive highlight features him attacking a defensive back’s inside leverage, forcing the defender to respect the possibility of a slant or post before redirecting vertically. He creates enough separation for his quarterback to deliver the football and finishes the play with a difficult touchdown reception. This is another strong example of his ability to threaten defenses downfield, particularly when combining his stride length with an understanding of how to influence a defender’s positioning. However, he isn’t simply a receiver who relies on vertical routes. Later in the tape, he catches a screen near the line of scrimmage, takes advantage of the available space and blocking, and turns the play into approximately 15 yards and a first down. His ability to create after the catch adds another dimension to his offensive potential.

I particularly enjoyed his fourth highlight, which demonstrates his awareness when a play breaks down. He initially works a comeback route but recognizes that the coverage has taken away his intended receiving window. As his quarterback extends the play, he identifies an opening in the zone, adjusts his positioning and settles into the available space. That gives his quarterback an accessible target rather than forcing a difficult throw into coverage. It’s a smart adjustment that shows he understands how to help his quarterback beyond simply executing the original route. I appreciate receivers who recognize when to modify their routes without making the quarterback’s job more complicated.

His ability after the catch is another encouraging part of his evaluation. He looks comfortable operating with the football in his hands and has the movement ability to become a focal point of a high school passing offense. I also appreciate the effort he demonstrates as a blocker. Several later highlights show him engaging defenders and contributing away from the football, displaying some toughness and attitude in the process. For a receiver who could eventually become one of his offense’s primary weapons, that willingness to contribute on plays that aren’t designed for him is important. He could easily take those snaps off, but the effort is there.

Overall, this is an encouraging first extended evaluation of a prospect I haven’t had much opportunity to study previously. His vertical ability, stride length, ball tracking, route awareness and production after the catch give him an intriguing offensive profile. I would still like to see more film and a larger sample of consistent production before making a definitive ranking decision, but his first consolidated junior tape makes a strong impression. If he continues producing at this level and provides additional footage, I could see him moving off our watch list relatively quickly. There is legitimate upside here, and I’m excited to see more.
