Three-year starter. Earned first-team All-Pac 12 honors in both 2023 and 2022. All-America both seasons as well, first team in 2023. Has all of the tools and a rapidly growing skill set to be a credible number one threat at the next level. He can win in several ways that stem from more than just talent alone. His feel for route running and unique blend of ability, size, and speed will add both explosive plays and efficiency to an offense. If the questionable areas of his game can catch up to the rest, he can be one of the more dangerous receivers in the game. Explosive and twitchy athlete who has both a bendy, but dense frame to handle multiple situations of the position. Can out-size and out-muscle several defensive backs. Put on 10-15 pounds between the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 seasons without losing speed. Glides in and out of breaks as if he were on ice skates. Creates space and separation as a route runner on all three levels. Shows sudden change of direction after the catch. Will turn upfield in an instant with explosive smoothness. Excels at getting his hands to the ball at the apex of his extension. Air coordination gives him a significant advantage in contested situations. Will need to improve his ability to avoid contact against press corners, something he did not do much of in college. Gets caught in traffic too easily. Was not given much opportunity to create after the catch and when he did, the production was low. Ball security habits need to be tightened up.
