Kid obviously can go up and get it, but he has more wheels than I thought he would. We need him.

What didn’t look good about him?
Sorry, auto correct caught me there. Thanks for the lookout. And I never watched Brooks, he was DII as compared to this guy being FCS though, right?Just saying he doesn't look quite as good as Jalen Brooks. Talk about a great highlight "real", that kid had one.
I think he's faster than he looks. He has a long stride.I’m glad to have him but right now all I can say is he’s big and slow. We can use him though definitely down in the red zone.
I wouldn’t be shocked. I think he would make a good tight end, but that’s if he can block big guys at this level.If I read his recruiting info right he was recruited as a TE
I saw that on the recruiting site for the transfer portal but all the columnists and highlights are saying WR? No idea to be honest but definitely a jump ball threatIf I read his recruiting info right he was recruited as a TE

He would be a good tight end if he can block, but at his height, you gotta throw it up to him inside the red zone just to see if he can posterize some 5’11” Db 😀🤙🏼I wouldn’t be shocked. I think he would make a good tight end, but that’s if he can block big guys at this level.

Don't give up on Brooks after what, 3 games.Almost as good as Jalen Brooks
Didn't appear to me this kid is slow.No crystal ball here, but guessing that a "slow" 6'8" dude who gets matched up on a LB, DB or safety who is 6'1" and runs a 4.35...still wins on a properly thrown pass in the end zone.
Exactly what I saw too.... never went up and caught with his handsHe didn't really high point the ball on any of the catches. He kinda of just jumps and catches it with his chest.
There is a reason other FBS schools are nabbing these kids. Too many people getting their hopes up.

Just watched highlights
1) he's not "slow". He doesn't run a 4.2 but he is fast enough. There was only one or two plays where you got to see him in open space on there.
2) there was also only 1-2 plays where he could of actually "high pointed" the ball. So obviously you didn't see him even have to jump in hardly any of the highlights
3) he was actually sticking his hands out a little quick to catch the ball in some instances. DB's are taught to recognize when the ball is nearing a WR based on how/when the WR arms/hands start to react to the ball nearing them.
Thank God a few of y'all aren't in charge of evaluating players!!! I'm not saying this guy is Randy Moss or even good enough to play a down for us. But man some of y'all really don't need to comment when you don't understand what the hell you're saying.
He can catch. That alone makes him better than most the WRs on our roster. I have never seen more drops than we had the past two years.... I hope he makes an impact.
I wonder sometimes how that happens! Same with basketball players who get here and suddenly can’t even make a free throw!?! You are telling me you have played ball since you were a kid and all of a sudden you can’t CATCH or hit FREE THROWS!? Are we tinkering too much with their mechanics or something? What is the deal??All of our receivers were able to catch until they got here. Hopefully, Steppe can solve the problem.

Haha. Well it was a highlight video. What a coach needs to see is a video of your 100 best plays and 100 of your worst plays. Making a 1 handed catch isn't hard if you try it enough times. It's about being consistent with your ability.You're just saying he doesn't have any flaws 😄
