The Tennessee prep also played defensive back while lettering in basketball and track. Led the Ohio Valley Conference in receptions and was named the conference’s Newcomer of the Year as a true freshman in 2008 after grabbing 68 passes for 782 yards (11.5-yard average) and 10 touchdowns in 12 games (11 starts). Was the team’s top receiver again in ’09 after posting 33-580-2 (17.6) in 10 starts. Did not play against Eastern Illinois (suspension). Recorded 50-812-10 (16.2) in 11 starts at wide receiver in ’10. Was the Golden Eagles top receiver for a fourth consecutive season and was named the OVC Offensive Player of the Year in ’11 after grabbing 65-923-5 (14.2) in 11 starts. Has three career fumbles.

Good size and arm length. Smooth athlete. Accelerates and turns over his stride fluidly. Can extend and pluck throws at the high point. Good short-area quickness. Productive, tough, durable, four-year starter. Has some upside. Solid showing at the East-West Shrine Game.

Has small hands. Has to bulk up his frame and get stronger. Susceptible to the jam. Lacks elite top-end speed to separate vertically. Unrefined route runner. Carries the ball loosely as a runner. Marginal blocker. Limited return experience. Was held in check against better competition — 20-253-1 (8.4) in seven career games vs. Division-I opponents. Needs to mature. Could take time to grasp a sophisticated playbook.

Raw, talented, “Z” receiver who is rough around the edges and would be best served landing in a veteran locker room with a strong, patient position coach who can help provide structure in his life.
