What surprised me over the last year or so is when I went back to watch old games....

Posted on September 20, 2026 at 12:03:43 PM by Rich

how in 2023 as a true freshman on a national title team, he played and contributed a lot more than I realized at the time. We were just so good with JJ, Edwards, Corum, Wilson, CJ, Loveland, Barner and the OL that we dominated. But he got perhaps more 3rd WR run than Morris did. And he had some big usage in non garbage time. And.....I don't remember him dropping any balls.

In 2024, we didn't know how to use him and in 2025 he had the yips/slump/whatever he had.

But in hindsight, if I had noticed him more in 2023, I'd have been pretty excited. He was/is never going to be a top wr because of his size. But he can be a slot weapon.


Here is a play from the 2023 PSU game (2:28 mark):

And he had 4 catches in the Rose Bowl. Here are two starting at 3:50 and 4:10 marks:
