CJ Lovejoy CJ Lovejoy 5'11" | 230 lbs | TE/EDGE Nitro | 2029 WV is making an impact as a freshman for the Nitro Wildcats as a TE/H-Back and is doing a nice job in that role. He has a fullback build right now at 5’10 220, and is performing well as a blocker on offense in both the passing and running game. Lovejoy has shown quickness that would allow him to be utilized as a pass catcher at times on screens and quick passes, while also being able to block in space and as a lead blocker to the second level. How his body develops over the next few years will determine his position as a prospect, but Lovejoy is executing his role well in year one.
