Waiting patiently behind a plethora of wide outs hasn’t been easy for the redshirt sophomore, but he has watched the dos and don’ts of the position, learning little by little. He’s watched as the crowd at wide receiver has been thinned out over the past two seasons and he’s going to see the field much more in 2018.
