A big turn in our favor. Funny how to of the late de-committals were lower ranked players in the same position, including Jake Ray that de-committed this morning.
WoWzer. Thought there might be a tiny chance but really thought he was going to Boise or BwhyU.
Evaluation (from 247Sports)
Wide frame and thickly built at about 245 pounds. Well-rounded tight end with decent hands and ability to get generate space. A nuisance over the middle, where he can use his size to box out defenders. Good runner who can change directions fluidly. Physical blocker and an asset in the run game. Lacks top speed and could become more consistent in getting open. Potential multi-year starter at Power Five level and All-Conference candidate. Could draw NFL Draft attention.
Tight ends combined with a big armed quarterback equal offense similar to Seahawks, 49ers, Chiefs in exploiting the soft middle. This is exciting after watching Ducks offense decimate the Pac 12, it will take time but that is fine.
