| Scouting Report | Potential |
| With more work and attention to detail, he will have hands as good as anyone in the nation. As he catches on to the nuances of the position, he'll consistently run beautiful routes. When he is able to translate his raw speed to the football field, he'll be a real burner. He'll eventually learn to block downfield but this isn't area he'll excel in. |
