This kid reminds me a lot of Brandon Kaufman (WR from Littleton, Class of 2009, who is now in the NFL after CU passed on him due to a torn ACL his junior year). Tall, lanky and very good at going up and getting the ball.

Think White Rabbit mentioned we checked in on him this week. Definitely a player to watch.

He's a big dude. Big targets are a QB's best friend.

If they can catch the ball *cough* McCulloch *cough*

What? Kaufman made it to the NFL?

What? Kaufman made it to the NFL?

Entered the draft after his junior season at Eastern Washington. Was signed by the Bills as an undrafted free agent prior to this season. Not sure if he's still there.

He is working out in the Denver area getting ready for next season.

 

[sackman]

Could his speed figure be reflective of his size? That being, it takes a little longer to get those long legs going and thus his 40 time is a little on the slower side. Is there an opportunity here to bulk up and play TE?

 

[Duff Man]

He could definitely bulk up to TE, but I do not think it is essential. He was a standout at the No Cal Rivals camp today. Hope we offer.

Took home the MVP at that Nor Cal Rivals event.

I think Duff might back off that statement after looking at the Camp MVP pic.

Heh.

Regardless of the position discussion, I think he is underrated right now. Presents our coaches with an opportunity to make an impression.

 

[BuffHerd]

Looks like an intriguing prospect. These seems to be the type of kid MM values - the skills and/or the speed in a frame that is not yet done developing. Hope we extend the offer.

 

[Duff Man]

Picked up a Cal offer today.

Cal

 

[OUBuff]

Dude... he looks like he belongs at Cal, brah

 

[Duff Man]

Saw he is camping with Washington at their Bay area satellite camp, so he may be open.

Had a good day at the Eugene Nike Camp today.
