| Scouting Report | Potential |
| His pass rush ability could blossom to the point where his next stop is the pros. He could eventually be one of the best run stuffers this conference has ever seen. You're going to see some amazing agility from this kid down the road. By the time he's finished, he may be strong enough to toss offensive linemen around like rag dolls. |
