Size, speed and productivity have him widely considered as one of the all-time best prep players in South Carolina history.

As a senior, had 87 receptions for 1,521 yards and 24 touchdowns. "People always ask me, 'Is he the best you've seen?'" said Summerville coach John McKissick, who just completed his 55th season at the school. "That's hard to say because you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. But by now, the answer is obvious. Yes, he's the best."
