| Scouting Report | Potential |
| I see no reason his blitzing ability can't grow to the point where it really enhances his game. I'm fairly certain that this young man will end up having well above average speed for his position. All signs point toward him developing some pretty good tackling skills in the future. He's been working with a lot of focus lately and, over time, should become solid playing in the zone. |
