This kid will move up in the rankings. I doubt too many current 4 or 5 star TEs could make that catch in the first highlight. He's got great size, hands, runs well, and has impressive body control. He was converted from OT to WR because he catches and runs so well, but he hasn't forgotten how to block.
As for why Boise didn't offer, who knows. Frankly, after watching Cotton's highlight tape I wouldn't let it, or the fact he only has 2 stars bother me in the slightest. If he doesn't get moved up and he gets admitted, I could easily see DS on signing day saying "this kid shows why the rankings are meaningless. He is better than many of the 4 stars we looked at.". Or something similar.
