How should I feel about this one? UK really wanting him back makes me think he’s got some talent
He reclassified and came in a year early. It was a big recruiting win for KY and they were “desperately” trying to keep him.

H.S. Scouting Report
EVALUATED 11/17/2023
Andrew IvinsDIRECTOR OF SCOUTING
Young wide receiver with a projectable frame that displays plenty of suddnesses as a route runner. Reclassified and skipped his senior year of high school. Didn’t play the stiffest competition down in the Sunshine State, but comes from a town that is known for its NFL stars. More of a build-up speed player with his long stride, but can really open up and get vertical. Strong-handed and flashes impressive body control at the catch point. Likely is going to need a developmental year or two to find his footing given age, but has some tools to work with and a chance to emerge as a multi-year contributor at the Power Five level if he can keep progressing. Could always get a look on defense given what he put on tape as a safety.
