Coach Says: High upside player still learning the game. Started to emerge last season as a receiving threat for us. His length and athleticism made him tough to block coming off the edge on defense. Already one Division 1 offer from Lehigh to play tight end. Looking for him to continue to grow and become one of the area’s better tight end prospects.
