Strengths
- Good after the catch. Frequently turned short screen passes near the line of scrimmage into big gains.
- Very smooth route runner. Gets in and out of his breaks fluidly.
- Lined up all over the field for the Seminoles. Comfortable on an island out wide or in the slot.
- Produced consistently with more than 1,100 yards in each of the last two seasons.
- Adjusts his routes well to coverage. Could find a niche as a possession receiver at the next level.
Weaknesses
- Not a strong blocker. His small frame often sees him get outmuscled by defenders.
- Didn't impress at the combine with his numbers.
- Won't be an ideal red zone target and will struggle in jump-ball situations.
- Needs to avoid getting redirected in his routes by bigger defensive backs and must improve his release against press coverage.
