As a College Recruit
Smooth-moving receiver who is one of the best route-runners in the 2023 cycle. Shows the ability to tempo and toggle speeds within his routes. Has outstanding initial quickness and easily stacks corners off the line, particularly when working from the slot. Very polished having worked with individual trainers. Can win at all levels of the field. Has long arms with a 6-foot-4 wing-span at 5-foot-11.5, 175 pounds. Shows the ability to track the ball over his shoulder and has the capability of coming down with high-point grabs. Highly productive while playing top competition as a senior, catching 86 passes for 1,534 yards and 22 touchdowns while leading DeSoto to a state title. Quicker than fast, but long speed appears to be solid. Will need to continue improving on his reliability as a pass-catcher and eliminate concentration drops but showed some progress on that front as a senior.
Reminds Us Of
Johntay Cook's well-rounded game, large catch radius at his size and savvy in getting open against zone defenses reminds us of Nelson Agholor. Cook is more of a pure receiver prospect than Agholor, who was a two-way player at the high school level.
