| Scouting Report | Potential |
| With the drive and passion he demonstrates, he should develop exceptional strength for a linebacker. He has aggressive tendencies that will make him be a force to be reckoned with in the future. There is a very good chance that he will develop into one of the most sure handed tacklers you will see. Over time he is expected to develop a solid feel for the game. |
