GPA: 4.0

Coach Felix Curry:
“A low 4.5 (40-yard dash) as a ninth grader, 23-5 long jump, (which was) second in the state behind (Arkansas wide receiver Isaiah) Sategna. Natural hands. As polished of a route runner last year as a 10th grader as you would see. He is high quality. Great kid – yes sir, no sir-type kid.
“Extremely fast for his age. He jumped a 37-inch vertical at Alabama. We've got him in the pro agility in the 4.1s. He’s going to be a legit 4.3-type (40-yard dash) as a senior. He’s a legit 4.4 right now as a 10th grader. Very coachable, athletic, competitive, solid leader. He’s not a big talker, but a doer. Could possibly be a DB also. He has a skillset to be a DB.”
