The class of 2023 prospect ranks at No. 388 nationally, No. 24 in athletes, and No. 11 in Tenn., according to 247Sports Composite.

"Two-way playmaker whose twitch and suddenness pop off the screen along with his ball skills and ability to put the ball in the endzone on any given play. Natural pass catcher who has soft hands. Totaled 35 receptions for 498 yards and 7 touchdowns during his junior season. Phenomenal with the ball in his hands after the catch. Makes defenders miss with his hip fluidity and ability to pull through arm tackles," said On3Sports' director of scouting Charles Power.

Alabama is one of 22 schools to send an offer to the high school senior.
