Orson Charles, 6-3, 220
ATH, Tampa (Fla.) Plant
A lot of scouts are divided on Charles and there are good reasons for that. The term 'tweener fits him pretty well and the question is, is he fast enough for receiver or big enough to play tight end? Plant split him out wide most of the tournament. But at the next level, we don't think he has the quickness to play wideout in college.

So the question is, can he play a tight end or h-back roles? He's very developed physically right now, and when you see that in a high school player, you wonder if that player has peaked already in terms of being able to get much bigger down the line. Charles is very strong and was a huge weapon in the red zone all tourney long.

He showed solid hands and caught the ball well in traffic. He won't get you much after the catch but because he's so wide and physically strong, he's able to box out smaller defenders or just over power them when the ball is in the air. Charles actually might be a fit at fullback at which his physical strength and hands out of the backfield would be an ideal fit.
