Currently ranked inside our Pennsylvania 2028 top 200 and among the top 25 wide receivers in his class, this junior continues to justify his placement through substantial offensive production. Listed at 6’2, 170 pounds, he has added an inch and 10 pounds since our previous evaluation. He also plays baseball for his high school. My initial concern was his lack of activity on Twitter, where he’s posted only once this season. For a prospect ranked this highly, consistent film availability is important. Fortunately, his Hudl profile is loaded with individual game cutups and a three-and-a-half-minute midseason highlight reel. The film is available, but I would strongly encourage him to become more proactive about sharing it. Based on my collection of his statistics, he’s approaching 40 to 50 receptions, 800 receiving yards and eight touchdowns this season. That’s legitimate production, and regularly sharing those numbers could help attract attention from college programs outside his immediate area.
His midseason tape immediately demonstrates why I have him ranked so highly. Despite standing 6’2, he spends considerable time operating from the slot, where his combination of size, acceleration and vertical ability creates difficult matchups for defensive backs. His opening highlights show him attacking flat-footed defenders, accelerating past their coverage and tracking the football downfield. He has enough burst to threaten vertically without needing an extended release, and his ability to maintain speed while locating the football is a consistent strength. More importantly, this isn’t a receiver whose production comes exclusively from favorable alignments or uncontested throws. He demonstrates the ability to separate, adjust to the football and finish receptions against different coverage looks.
The variety of routes throughout his tape is particularly encouraging. He can operate at all three levels of the passing game, catching screens near the line of scrimmage, working intermediate concepts and stretching defenses vertically. Several screen receptions turn into gains of approximately 30 to 40 yards, including touchdowns, demonstrating his ability to produce after the catch. He also runs corners, slants, posts, seam-benders and vertical routes with enough consistency to remain a threat throughout the route tree. I particularly appreciate his production on deeper concepts from the slot. He doesn’t simply threaten safeties vertically; he’s regularly converting those opportunities into substantial gains. That distinction matters when projecting whether his athletic traits will translate against better competition.
His ball skills are another major part of his evaluation. Multiple highlights feature him adjusting to inaccurate passes, including throws delivered below his waist or above his helmet. He demonstrates the body control to adjust his positioning, extend away from his frame and secure receptions that aren’t placed perfectly. At 6’2, that catch radius gives his quarterback additional room for error. He also understands how to manipulate his positioning throughout routes rather than relying entirely on speed. His ability to work through different receiving concepts suggests a more developed understanding of the position than many similarly ranked prospects.
Although much of his production comes from the slot, I don’t believe he needs to remain there at the collegiate level. His size, ball skills and vertical ability could translate to an outside X or flanker role, while his experience inside gives him additional versatility. He can work between the hashes, attack the sideline and threaten multiple areas of the field depending on his alignment. I’d like to see how consistently he handles physical coverage from outside cornerbacks, particularly against defenders capable of disrupting his release at the line of scrimmage. That will be an important part of determining his eventual collegiate ceiling.
I believe he’s developing into a legitimate FCS recruiting target, with the potential to earn offers at that level if his production continues and his measurements are verified. He’s already demonstrating the receiving versatility, body control and statistical output necessary to warrant attention. I’d like to evaluate him in person to get a better understanding of his verified athleticism and how he handles physical competition. His current top 200 ranking and top 25 positional placement remain justified, and there is room for further movement. The biggest immediate recommendation is simple: share the film and production more consistently. He’s doing enough on Friday nights to attract interest, but making that information easier for college coaches to find should be a priority.
