Scouting Report | Potential |
| Being able to blitz the quarterback is a skill that could someday take his game to the next level. This kid has the type of body that will allow him to develop very special agility skills over time. He loves to work and down the road he's going to have very solid strength for a safety. He's steadily improving and should end up being one of the best zone cover guys in America. |
