Camp outlook: Needs to get on the same page as everyone else in the first year of Mark Whipple’s new offense. Should battle with redshirt sophomore safety Paris Ford for punt return duties.
Projected role: Regular starter at wide receiver, probably playing out of the slot. Will retain kickoff return duties and will likely return a good number of punts, as well.
