| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Coaches have challenged him to increase his leg strength and I think he'll end up above average in that department. He should eventually be accurate enough to play at this level, but it's going to be close. His extra time on the practice field will pay off in the future as his consistency reaches a solid level. He should eventually become good enough to do an adequate job of handling kickoffs. |
