| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He's always been an outstanding athlete and will someday have exceptional agility compared to other safeties. He loves to work and down the road he's going to have very solid strength for a safety. He'll eventually have good enough tackling skills to play safety at this level. He's been working with a lot of focus lately and, over time, should become solid playing in the zone. |
