Lots of potential and talent that has not developed enough to date. Spring 2022 leg injury, and broken hand in 2023 may be partially to blame, but also admitted confidence issues.
Confidence issues also permeate with Gunn, Klubnik, and other WR's. Hopefully, position coaches can address, bolster player confidence in 2024, and create some new Tiger stars.

Is he going to pack on another 15 lbs and move to Tight End?

At 6'2 and 225 he's too slow for WR but not quite tall enough to go after jump balls.
Certain routes suit him such as crossing and square -in's but he will need to change his size one way or another to become dominant.
That's my opinion.

Unfortunately I agree that he is just missing something to be an elite level receiver. Kind of like B. Collins, I think he will have a solid year and be more productive but he does not seem to have that elite level ability. Not quite tall enough (ie Tee Higgins) and doesn’t have that extra gear (Sammy Watkins) or crazy balls skills(Nuke). Still think he should be solid in 2024 but don’t see him all of a sudden being one of the best receivers in the ACC.

Let's see. Tron ACL and played this past season with a broken hand. Kid looked good the last few games and showed up at the Gator Bowl more than I remember him showing up all season. I think good things are coming from that kid.

Yep and I don’t believe these people are really this excited about the WRs. Nothing worse than a fake circle jerk.

I agree that his size and agility is not anywhere near elite for a WR. I believe if he could lose ten or so pounds and get in better shape he could be dangerous.

He’s hung in there and overcome a lot. Hope he has great success.
When he was signed I thought maybe he was another Mike Williams. That hasn’t panned out but I do think he can become a dependable WR.

Very good example. For a guy his size, he doesn't use his body properly to get inside leverage, nor does he fight for contested balls. He SHOULD be a Brad Edwards/Deebo Samuel type of receiver---but he plays too soft IMO.
