| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He's still working on it but eventually his ability to blitz from the corner will disrupt a lot of QB's He's expected to be known as a 'shut down' corner before his career is over. The way this kid pushes himself, I envision him becoming one of the most agile players in the country. Coaches will continue to work on his tackling until it's at least adequate. |
