As a College Recruit
Long-bodied tight end prospect who may have the widest catch radius in the entire country. Has a big frame and truly elite length at the position, measuring around 6-foot-6, 225 pounds with 36-inch arms as a senior. Complete mismatch in the red zone. Natural pass catcher that can high point the football with ease with strong hands. Bodies defensive backs in contested catch situations. Also shows outstanding tracking ability, making several fantastic over the shoulder grabs as a senior. Smooth athlete that lacks ideal twitch but can separate with his long strides. Turned in a revelatory senior season, leading to a huge rise. Caught 49 passes for 951 yards and 16 touchdowns as a senior. Willing and active blocker. Raw power is evident but lacks necessary mass at this point for the next level. Threw a tremendous 54-foot-10 in the shot put and a 160-foot-10 in the discus during his junior track and field campaign. Will need a year or two to develop mass in lowers but has the frame and build to carry much more weight. Ultimate ceiling will be determined by his continued development as a route-runner and threat after the catch. High floor prospect who could play an immediate role in an offense the day he steps on campus. Should turn into an every down player as he continues to develop his lower half.
Reminds Us Of
Ka'Morreun Pimpton's extreme length, large catch radius and upside as a blocker reminds us of Brandon Pettigrew. Both have big frames, but Pimpton is longer and may be a better overall athlete.
