Scouting Report
Evaluated 04/13/2024
Modern off-ball linebacker who's proven he can play in space and stay on the field in passing situations. Adequate frame with plus length. Will need some more mass to maximize tackling/striking power and consistency, plus the strength to play in traffic between the tackles vs. FBS competition. Possesses the functional athleticism and awareness to be a factor on obvious passing downs. Willing participant and volume tackler vs. the run. Impacts in-the-box action with quick diagnostic acumen and short-area suddenness, evading blockers and leaking to creases. Plays for a talent-laden Texas 5A power that regularly produces FBS talent. Perimeter pursuit angles can be flat. Testing markers suggest room to improve top-end athleticism. Projects as a quality FBS prospect and potential P4-caliber starter with proper development.
