Scout.com Player Evaluation:
STRENGTHS
 Elusiveness with Catch
 Hands and Concentration
 Speed
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Ability To Beat Jams
 Blocking Ability
 Size
A burner who will move around and across the formation to create mis-matches. Will line up initially as a slot receiver and will more than likely be a third option. Could be a vertical threat (thus putting safeties in a bind), but will need to work on getting off of jams and back into routes. May even see time at other positions, such as RB, to utilize speed. An early candidate for special teams play--Burke Hayes

Raper reports a 2.4 core GPA, an 800 SAT and says that he expects to qualify. “I’ve been hearing from some prep schools, but I’m not thinking about that. I think I did pretty well on the last SAT and my grades have gone up too. I don’t think it’ll be an issue.”
