Scouting Report
Potential
He was a good blitzer in high school and coaches see no reason why he can't reach that level here. He'll eventually develop into one of the more aggressive linebackers you will see. Tackling is a skill he needs to improve and I think he can eventually be pretty good at it. As he gains more experience at this level, his sideline to sideline coverage ability will be remarkable.
