As a College Recruit
Long-limbed pass-catcher with a large catch radius and functional movement skills. Measured in at 6-foot-1.5, 175 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has elite length and a big frame, with arms that measure 33.5 inches to go with 10.25-inch hands. Shows the ability to win at every level on Friday nights and in the camp setting. Stacks cornerbacks off the line of scrimmage with his initial burst and releases. Offers the movement skills of a smaller wide receiver with the catch radius and high-point ability of a jumbo pass-catcher. Shows shake and good play speed to separate within his routes. Plays with a high level of technical ability. Catches with good technique, using his hands to frame the football. Shows acrobatic in-air ability with the wherewithal to out-jump defenders in contested situations. Also flashes high level tracking skills. Turned in a strong junior season, hauling in 59 catches for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns. Will need to continue filling out his frame. Top end speed looks to be solid, but can be improved.
Reminds Us Of
Kaliq Lockett's ability to separate and track the football as a downfield target reminds us of Rashod Bateman. Both were at a similar size and very productive as high school prospects. Bateman was better after the catch and was a top basketball player, while Lockett was more established as a contested catch target.
