Player Summary:

RS Senior, Z/Slot WR at Bowling Green. Transfer from Alabama A&M in 2022, Adequate height and weight with a very slim stature, with not much mass to him at all. He is very slender in his upper and lower body. Hiliare is a good deep threat and possession WR due to his polished route running and quick footwork. He obtains solid AA due to his good quick feet and footwork, along with good COD and body control and solid speed, however also shows adequate burst/explosion as well as strength and long speed. From the snap, he displays adequate burst off the LOS due to a lack of explosion, making him vulnerable to being pressed or Jammed. Displays good mental processing of Z/C being able to find his way open, especially when the QB is on the run, he will reroute and find the open grass. He is best against Man Coverage where he uses his good quick footwork to get up on the DBs toes before breaking off his route. He excels in the intermediate and deep passing game due to his solid speed, and good route-running ability, making him a hard WR to cover alone. He displays solid hands with good body control and balance to make natural catches without fighting it, however does not display a large catch radius as he will drop tough passes. Adequate catching ability on contested catches as he shows his adequate strength to fight for the football in mid air. Adequate RAC ability due to adequate explosion, unable to start and stop at a rapid rate, while also displaying adequate strength to break through tackles. His adequate long speed refrains him from taking the ball to the end zone after the catch.
