| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Coaches and scouts seem to agree that he should develop good point of attack skills in the future. I envision him ending up with the type of agility very rarely seen at the linebacker position. With the drive and passion he demonstrates, he should develop exceptional strength for a linebacker. Over time he is expected to develop a solid feel for the game. |
