Scouting Report | Potential |
| Coaches feel he has a knack for rushing the QB and will be a disruptive force in the future. His run defense alone will never be great but hopefully he can reach an acceptable level in this area. He should end up with decent agility for a college linebacker; anything more would be a bonus. He's expected to end up having good instincts that will really help his play. |
