Won state title in long jump as a sophomore and junior; placed second as a senior.
A possible "sleeper-athlete" who performed well at the OSU Nike camp, leading all attendees with a 39" verticle jump. His film (as a WR) is decent, but he didn't have many chances to showcase his speed as his QB underthrew him most of the time on fly routes. In one clip, however, he shows great football speed, as he makes the catch over the middle and proceeds to accelerate past no less than four defenders. He also plays DB.
He claims offers from Stanford and Eastern Michigan, and likes OSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, and several others; academics and distance will be factors in his decision. His high school coach played at Purdue, so the Boilermakers will be a major factor.
Overall, he is a raw prospect, with lots of athleticism, and just the type who could make huge strides as a senior. One to watch....
