Long-striding outside receiver with the 6-3 frame and vertical polish that gets scouts talking themselves into Round 1 — CBS has mocked him top-20, and he announced he's returning to Clemson in 2026 as the headliner of a loaded receiver room. The production is genuinely ascending: 45-651 as a freshman, then 52 catches for 837 yards at 16.1 per grab in 2025. He wins down the field and along the boundary, and the size-speed profile is exactly what the league orders at X. However, this grade deliberately sits a tier below the mock hype: nine touchdowns in two seasons is light for a WR1 with his catch volume, and he has yet to post the target-dominant, defense-tilting season first-round receivers show. Late-round track by the current evaluation — the gap between this number and the top-20 mocks is precisely what his 2026 tape has to close.
