Final senior (12-0, first round of the Quad A playoffs) stats: 28 receptions for approx. 450 yards and seven touchdowns; four interceptions and two fumbles caused. He was named to the "Fabulous 22" team by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Tinker reports 2.4 core GPA, but says this winter semester he earned a 2.8. He scored a 740 SAT and is retaking the test on Jan. 26. "I'm taking SAT prep classes because I really need to get my score up. I know I need to get around a 910 (SAT) to qualify."
Tinker: "I can catch and run good routes. I do everything really well and I have a great attitude too. I go hard on every play and am very competitive.
"I still want to improve my footwork and routes, and I'm also trying to work on my hands and catching."
