| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Being able to blitz the quarterback is a skill that could someday take his game to the next level. As he gains more experience, I fully expect him to become one of the best man cover safeties in the conference. One day people are going to look at this kid and be amazed at the speed he possesses for a safety. As he develops a better feel for the game, his instincts will help his play immensely. |
