| Scouting Report | Potential |
| As he gains more experience, I fully expect him to become one of the best man cover safeties in the conference. Over time, he's expected to develop the type of speed that is very rare at the safety position. He's learning more every day and coaches think he will someday pick off his share of passes. He's steadily improving and should end up being one of the best zone cover guys in America. |
