| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He could be as good against the run as any defensive end in the conference. When his aggressiveness gets turned up a couple more notches, it will really set him apart. His speed at DE will complement his overall game very nicely. You like for defensive ends to be strong and I don't think this kid will be a disappointment. |
