In his 11 games in 2022, he collected 53 receptions for 889 yards and 12 touchdowns while also returning 4 kickoffs for touchdowns and even returning one defensive interception 68 yards for a score. In total, he averaged almost 10 points per game and ended his junior season as the #3 receiver in Kentucky’s Class AAAA, and given his speed, elusiveness and vision in the open field, he certainly appears capable of matching or surpassing those numbers this fall. Whether catching the ball over his shoulder, behind the line of scrimmage or across the middle of the field, his motions are smooth and appear effortlessly natural. Meanwhile, his ability to quickly/efficiently change his direction without losing any discernible speed makes him an exceptionally effective route runner and a threat to break plays from anywhere on the field.
