Great athlete who could never get on the field for the Buckeyes - tough to say much because he barely played

Buried on the chart?

Great team/locker room guy.  Damn good WR.   Can take the lid off the defense by going deep w speed.  

Was the primary WR at CJ Strouds pro day workouts and had the NFL scouts drooling with his speed, routes and hands    

Just had a hard time beating Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Injigba , Egbuka, Jeremiah Smith, etc.  maybe not as consistent at blocking.  

Guy is LEGIT.

Sounds promising. Thanks.

The Badgers historically have not reached "up" much for transfers, so I was curious. 

I'm more used to them taking transfers from Ohio U or Fresno than Ohio State or USC.

It's tough to say - he's on of those guys who looks great when no one is covering him. Jameson Williams couldn't get on the field and went to Bama and became a star. I thought Julian Fleming would prosper at PSU and he did a whole lot of nothing. Spin the portal wheel and take your chances.

The comments in response are brutal.  Can't believe someone directly associated with the athletics department actually tweeted that out.

Not sure what this means

he's signed with Michigan and it's official now. weird situation there.

kid went from 5*, #24 player overall and #7 DL as a recruit in the 2021 class in the 247Sports composite to a 3*, the #96 player overall, and #9 DL in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings.

DT and OL probably the hardest positions to predict. DE/EDGE rusher seems much more accurate....oh this guy is 6'4-6'6, 230-250 with broad shoulders, long arms, and is twitched up and can run like the wind- 4* - 5*.

Seems like his dad just announced it before papers were signed.  Of course On3 said "nullified" to clean the egg off their own face

This one hurts, badly.

Wisconsin beat out Miami, FSU, UF, Bama and many others to win this kid last December, and he showed on the field why he had so many offers. He became the top starting QB as a true freshman.

Word is $1.5 Million. Other word is that his father is very sick. Who knows anymore.
