| Scouting Report | Potential |
| His run defense alone will never be great but hopefully he can reach an acceptable level in this area. By the time his college career comes to an end, he should exhibit good agility. His overall strength will rate in the upper half of the linebacker scale by the time he's finished. Once this kid solidifies his technique and can let loose, his aggressiveness will really help his game. |
