| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Coaches feel he has a knack for rushing the QB and will be a disruptive force in the future. I envision him ending up with the type of agility very rarely seen at the linebacker position. By the time his tackling ability reaches its peak, there may not be anyone better. Has an innate feel for the game that, once fully developed, will allow him to always be in position to make plays. |
