Kid looks pretty fast at his size. 10.93 in the 100 meter is smoking.

Looking at those offers, doesn't sound like the academics at Syracuse will be an issue for him. Would like to see a couple other Power 5 offers, but hopefully we found a hidden gem.
 
Dear Luke,

Hopefully he's the 6'4" TE with enough speed to go deep down the middle we've been waiting for.
 
Interesting prospect. Great speed as was already said - great closing speed too. Good reaction off the line, really commits to his blocks. Seems a little stiff on his cuts.

He's an athlete, and I'm not sure where he's going to end up lining up. Give him a couple of years to develop. He show a couple elite skills on tape, and that could be huge as he develops.
 
What do we know that other P5s don’t?

That's the issue I'm having especially since this was supposed to be a "selective" class. Possible to find 1 or 2 hidden gems in the class but would rather not take 8 guys with no major offers to find those 1 or 2.

We saw him camp. I’m totally happy with them making an offer after watching him in person.
