At 6’4″, the former Tennessee football wide receiver showed lots of promise when he first arrived on campus with the Vols.
He was a freshman with the 2013 class and made a memorable catch to lead to victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks that year. His first two years in Knoxville, he had 68 catches for 816 yards and five touchdowns.
Going into his junior year, he had lots of hype. But he fell off and only had six catches for 16 yards, battling injuries for much of the time.
He then decided to leave early for the NFL but went undrafted before signing with the Los Angeles Rams. However, he didn’t acquire any stats in 2016.
