THEY SAID IT Brian Kelly's Comments: "He's just a great kid, and he's got great range, at 6-5. He's another very rangy wide receiver who can run. He can get in and out of his break, another matchup guy that I think teams are going to have problems with." Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Report: "He's just like Miles Boykin — he's exceptionally impressive looking. They're both strong wide receivers that can run pretty well. He played against great com- petition while at Servite, and he did more than hold his own. He's not a super blazer, but he can make the tough catch over the middle and run. He could be a strong runner."
