| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Over time, he's expected to develop the type of speed that is very rare at the safety position. He's got a good, solid base and should be able to develop an above average amount of strength. This kid is developing quite a nose for the football and will someday be a stud when it comes to picking off passes. All signs point toward him developing some pretty good tackling skills in the future. |
