IPS Take On Porter Rooks: Rooks is a dynamic playmaker at wide receiver.  Capable of lining up all over the field, he is an exceptional route runner with the speed to run by defenders and the strength to break tackles in space.

What makes him so special are his ball skills.  Like NC State star Kelvin Harmon, Rooks does an outstanding job of making contested catches against tight coverage.
