One dimensional player IMO. Pure possession receiver...quick slant, cut inside, bubble screen, over middle, etc. He will not run past anyone with his speed and he will not outjump anyone with his height and weight. However, he should be able to muscle past or through someone for good position, catch a quick pass, and grind out some yards after the catch.

You know, that is exactly what they said about Justin Blackmon...same rating on Rivals...5.6 and medium 3*. Blackmon wasn't a speed demon either and he did just fine for himself. I see Blackmon when I view Upchurch's video. And as far as offers, Blackmon's consisted of Okie State, Colorado, Missouri, and N Iowa.

His plays at RB showed good running ability. Once again, he and Blackmon IMO know how to do one simple thing. Move the ball down the field. That's good enough for me.

BTW, I could also see this guy as a special team contributor....both on coverage and blocking for LSU return guys. So I guess I completely disagree about him being a "one dimensional guy". I actually see this guy as playing more different areas than just about any recruit LSU signs. I am NOT saying he is close to the best signee...just one of the most versatile.
