| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He works especially hard at running drills in practice and should develop good speed for an ILB. Down the road, his agility and improving body control will help him at linebacker. Aggression fuels his play and will really enhance his game as he learns to funnel it properly. As he continues to improve, coaches expect his tackling ability to develop very nicely. |
