National writer
Projection
Second RoundAlready close to filled out on a compact frame. Thick lower body and carries 220 pounds well. Among the most athletic linebackers in the nation with high-level short area quickness and burst. Pairs intelligence and instincts with athletic ability and toughness. Highly active at inside linebacker. Has very good recognition skills and triggers quickly. Easily runs sideline to sideline. Lacks some length in coverage with his smaller frame and can continue to improve his tackling form. Projects as a multi-year impact Power 5 starter and should be a very good special teams player early in his college career.
