Scouting Report | Potential |
| He was a good blitzer in high school and coaches see no reason why he can't reach that level here. Coaches feel that he will someday have the speed to make plays all over the field. I envision him ending up with the type of agility very rarely seen at the linebacker position. With more time on the practice field, it is likely he will become an excellent coverage linebacker. |
