Scouting Report
Potential
His great punting technique will help him become one of the most accurate punters you'll see at this level. His ability to put the ball inside the 20 should eventually be pretty solid. With a little more refinement, coaches think consistency will be a big asset to him as a punter. There are a variety of problems that are going to keep him from ever becoming proficient at kickoffs.
