He runs with good balance and power, has good feet and makes seamless cuts and can accelerate through the hole. He has a second level burst and can accelerate through the hole and finish.

Pope transferred into UMass from Jackson State. He caught 33 passes for 420 yards and one touchdown. At 6-0 180, Pope is a long strider who runs fluid routes and has the speed to separate from defenders.
