A watchlisted Pennsylvania 2028 pass catcher who is beginning to generate more interest from a defensive evaluation standpoint. Currently listed at 6’0, 170 pounds with an excellent 4.1 GPA, he has added five pounds since our previous profile update. I had the opportunity to evaluate him in person during Week 5, and although I’ve primarily viewed him as a wide receiver, I’m becoming increasingly interested in his potential at defensive back. He possesses the athletic profile to contribute at either cornerback or safety, and his recent defensive production is making that projection considerably more intriguing. Playing within a program loaded with talent on both sides of the football, he has an opportunity to continue developing into a legitimate collegiate prospect.

His most recent performance included an interception from a cornerback alignment, where he maintained tight coverage on a receiver running what appeared to be a post route. He stayed on the receiver’s hip, worked downfield and secured the interception approximately 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. I appreciate the coverage discipline and ability to finish the play, particularly considering he also recorded an interception the previous week. Back-to-back games with interceptions are encouraging for a player I’m considering transitioning from wide receiver to defensive back within our database. He has also demonstrated the ability to tackle, break up passes and make plays on the football, giving us several indicators of his defensive potential. There is legitimate production beginning to accumulate, and I want to see whether he can maintain that momentum throughout the remainder of the season.

The biggest limitation right now is the amount of available film. He has only posted twice on Twitter this season, and his Hudl profile currently features just three individual game cutups. There is no consolidated midseason reel, first three games compilation or first seven games highlight tape available for evaluation. That makes it difficult to assess his complete body of work or determine how consistently he is performing across different defensive assignments. While his recent interceptions and my Week 5 evaluation are encouraging, I still need a more comprehensive sample before confidently moving him from our watch list into the official rankings. A consolidated junior season highlight reel would be extremely helpful, particularly if it includes additional coverage reps, tackling opportunities and evidence of his versatility throughout the secondary.

What makes him worth continued attention is the combination of his recent production, academic profile and the athletic potential I’ve already observed in person. He is beginning to make more noticeable contributions defensively, and I believe his long term positional outlook may be stronger in the secondary than at wide receiver. Based on what I saw against Spring-Ford High School, I’m leaning toward updating his primary position to defensive back within our database. I also believe there is a strong possibility I’ll see him again during the upcoming offseason on the 7-on-7 circuit, which would provide another opportunity to evaluate his coverage ability against quality receiving competition.

Overall, I’m encouraged by the direction of his development and believe he has a realistic opportunity to earn a ranking with additional film. His interceptions in consecutive weeks suggest he is becoming more comfortable making plays in coverage, while his tackling ability and previous receiving experience give him a useful foundation for defensive back development. For now, I’ll keep him on our watch list while continuing to monitor his progress and hoping for a more complete junior season tape. There is real potential here, and I’m looking forward to getting a clearer understanding of his collegiate projection as more evidence becomes available.
