Scouting Notes

Prototype X-receiver body — 6-4, 210 with a wide catch radius — attached to three years of steadily compounding Big Ten production: 230 yards, then 676, then 762 with five scores in 2025, totaling 111 catches and 1,668 yards at Rutgers before the move to Cal. The season-over-season growth is the most bankable thing in the file; he has improved every single year, and the contested-catch profile fits what NFL teams ask of outside depth receivers. However, the trait that caps the projection is separation: he doesn't create much of it against press or off coverage, winning instead at the catch point, and receivers who need contested targets to eat carry thin margins at the next level. Fringe, priority-free-agent path — but a 900-yard year in a Cal offense built around him would put the size-production combination firmly on late-round radars.
