Farmer is a dynamic slot receiver who is at his best with the ball in his hands, where he can employ a wide variety of head fakes and jukes (not to mention above-average speed). He’s the type of player who will end up making a few ‘wow’ players in his debut season.

When he was with the Cocoa Tigers in 2022, he was the leading receiver for a Cocoa team that went 11-3 and won a Florida 2S title. Caught 63 passes for 938 yards (14.9 ypc) and 10 TDs.
