1996 Media Guide: Reserve split end … did not see any playing time last year as a true freshman … has burning speed and does a good job of separating from the defensive back … could see action this year when the Buckeyes employ a third wide receiver … is a threat on the streak because of his speed … also likes to run the post … needs to get stronger, but had a good spring and should just keep moving up the depth chart … still learning … should help, too, on the special teams.
