Evaluation: At 6-0, 180 pounds, there's nothing really elite about his physical tools. He's got very good speed in having posted a 10.69 100 meters this spring. But, you wouldn't call it elite speed. His size doesn't stand out in any way. Most of the recruiting services have him rated as a 3-star. Yet, when you turn on the the kid's film, all he does is make plays like a guy that should be rated much high. He's a guy that makes plays all over the field in a variety of ways. He world the middle of the field and will get behind a defense if they give him an inch of separation. On top of that, he's got great hands and a plus-catch radius. Hell, you can give it to him on jets sweeps and end arounds. Given that he could end up being a sub 10.5 guy by the end of next spring, I'm not really sure why he's flying so low under the radar, but he's a football-playing-son-of-a-gun.
Why it matters: As the No.2 wide receiver commitment in this class, it's clear that the Longhorns covet him as a prospect because barring players turning pro or transferring, the team is now up to having 12 scholarship receivers on the books going into the 2026 season (although that number will dwindle). He's a key piece of what Texas wants to put together on the offensive side of the ball in this class, even if his recruiting ranking isn't much to get excited about.
Expectations: I think this kid could play as a true freshman if playing time is available and that might be easier said than done. Getting on the field at wide receiver at Texas won't be for the faint of heart, but I think he's got a real chance to emerge as a star in this class and perhaps one of the top sleepers in the entire state of Texas.
Junior Season Highlights: Enjoy.
