| Scouting Report | Potential |
| With more coaching and hard work, his ability to handle receivers one on one will be outstanding. He thrives on contact and will eventually evolve into one of the best tackling safeties you'll find. He's steadily improving and should end up being one of the best zone cover guys in America. With more playing time, his instincts could elevate his play to an elite level. |
