Trae Johnson of Tulsa ~ 5.11/195
"A thin, undersized wideout who possesses a decent feel for the pass game. Does a nice job recognizing zone and finding soft spots to sit down in. Isn't a real natural plucker, though, lets the ball get into his frame and doesn't look natural extending his arms away from his frame. Isn't real physical in any area of the game, can be pushed around as a route runner and struggles to consistently generate separation for himself out of his breaks. And despite his size isn't real clean in and out of his breaks, has a tendency to get overextended and leggy trying to set up routes and wastes some motion trying to regain his balance.
Is at his best as a vertical route runner where he does possess a good initial burst off the football and has the speed to threaten defenders vertically. Tracks the football well, but will run himself toward the sideline on vertical routes and doesn't do a great job going up and high pointing the play. Is soft as a blocker in the run game as well and struggles to stay engaged and stick to defenders on runs toward the edge.
Impression: He's undersized, lacks great hands and isn't real clean/sudden as a route runner. More of a vertical route runner only, but nothing more than a speed free agent."
