"Malik is a baller, homegrown in the 305 and we are lucky that he's staying here and coming to FIU. He's a very explosive player on film, fast, and you'll see some highlight reel plays when you see him play. He's a real competitor and we feel he can make an impact with explosive plays, whether in the receiving or return game. He'll have Panther fans on the edge of their seats anytime he gets the ball."
