| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Coaches expect good things from him in the future when it comes to blitzing the quarterback. The agility he is expected to develop will someday help him do some tremendous things on the football field. He's disciplined enough to add the necessary strength to play safety at the college level. His zone coverage skills are steadily improving and one day he should be a very reliable zone defender. |
