Class: RS Sophomore Ht/Wt: 6-5/205 Position: Wide Receiver Hometown: Belleville, Ill

Louisville’s Take (@ Tennessee): Played in six games in 2011, giving him 10 career games...Suspended for finale at Kentucky (11/26)...Made first-career catch at #16 Florida (9/17), 12-yard catch.

Thoughts: So depth at wide receiver will be well documented as we continue this countdown journey, but let’s take a second to look into the future. Matt Milton, a transfer from Tennessee, will have to sit out this year due to NCAA regulations, but this guy looks good. He signed with the Vols ranked as the 20th best wide out in the country back in 2010 and showed flashes of greatness in the spring game back in April. He could end up being a great compliment to DeVante and the boys next year. There is a chance they could work him into the tight end slot at times as well with that 205lb frame. I'll be interested to see how he progresses and what he can bring to the team next year competing with teams in the Big 12 Big East.

He’s no Gorgui, but dude is a tall glass of water. Adjust your monitors accordingly…
