| Scouting Report | Potential |
| To a man, coaches say this kid has the potential to become the best one on one cover safety in America. Over time, he's expected to develop the type of speed that is very rare at the safety position. The agility he is expected to develop will someday help him do some tremendous things on the football field. With continued good work habits, he'll end up intercepting more than his share of passes. |
