Explosive local playmaker with untapped upside
Trader entered Miami as a four-star, top-100 type talent and flashed in the 2024 season with 13 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown, including a 40-yard score in the Pop-Tarts Bowl[3][8]. At 6-foot-1, he brings speed, acceleration and a “plays bigger than his measurements” style that evaluators say shows added upper-body strength and strong outside-receiver potential[13][15]. He was limited early by injury and depth, so the big question is consistency and staying on the field—but the ceiling is obvious if you want a high-upside WR who can stretch the field and win in space[3][15].
