Projection

Power 4 Starter

Reminds Us Of

Morgan Burnett Pittsburgh Steelers

Ideal frame and length for the position. Taller with long arms and fairly filled in going into college. Has played in a variety of spots including cornerback, safety, wide receiver, running back and even some wildcat quarterback and returned punts. Runs track and plays basketball. Fluid athlete. Shows instincts and ability to break on balls. Has very good ball skills and makes the interception when the play is there to be made. Smart kid (3.3 GPA) who was a team captain. Only some footage of run support available, but what it shows is a technically sound tackler with the size to get the job done in that department. Solid track results, but must continue to get faster and more explosive. Likely a free safety in college, but he has the man to man skills to move down and man up on a slot or tight end. Has the growth potential to possibly outgrow that position also. Should be a good starter with the upside to be more than that.
