Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors every season since his freshman campaign. Posted 50/485/4 as a junior after 38/476/4 as a sophomore. Pac-10 Freshman of the Year after career-best numbers of 56/552/6 during the ’04 season.

Pos:

Athletic pass-catching tight end who creates mismatches in the defensive secondary. A solid route-runner who gets separation from opponents, uses his frame to shield away defenders and effectively body-catches when necessary. Fluid, natural receiver who effortlessly makes the reception in stride, adjusting to the errant throw and looking the ball into his hands. Comes back to the quarterback finding the open spot in the defense, and knows where the sticks are on third down. Blocks with leverage, picks up blitzes and works well with linemen. Effectively fights with his hands and makes solid use of angles in pass protection.

Neg:

Play leveled off after a tremendous freshman campaign. Must improve the strength of his base and his blocking. Performed terribly at the combine.
