NFL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

• Saw time in two regular season games during Seattle's 2025 Super Bowl LX-winning season. Was on the practice squad during the regular season.

COLLEGE: Named Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year after blocking four kicks in 2024 and named first-team All-Mountain West as a wide receiver. Was the first Rebels receiver to earn first-team All-Mountain West in multiple seasons since UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame member Ryan Wolfe did it three times (2006, 08-09), and became the first receiver to post more than one 1,000-yard receiving season. In 2023, named third-team All-American by the Associated Press, becoming just the second UNLV wide receiver to appear on an AP team in history and first since 1981. Shattered a four-decade-old school record for receiving yards (1,491) in a season and tied the UNLV mark for receptions in season with 88. Was the first Rebel ever to post five consecutive games with at least 100 receiving yards, and his seven 100-yard games on the year ranked second in school history. Spent two seasons at Michigan State, recording 10 receptions for 223 yards during his true freshman season in 2020.

PERSONAL: A 2020 graduate of Marietta High. Helped his squad to the Georgia Class7A state championship in 2019 after he recorded 97 catches for 1,319 yards and 16 touchdowns as a senior as Marietta went 13-2. Recorded five receptions for 72 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown, in the state title game victory over Lowndes. Named to the Marietta Daily Journal All-County First Team for a second straight season in 2019. Started prep career at Wheeler High. Posted 55 catches for 1,066 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior in 2018 and earned first-team all-region 2-7A. Also lettered basketball. Born in Dayton, Ohio, and has 11 siblings.
