Scouting Report
Potential
This kid has the type of body that will allow him to develop very special agility skills over time. He takes pride in pounding the iron and he'll be rock solid by the end of his college career. This kid is developing quite a nose for the football and will someday be a stud when it comes to picking off passes. With a little more time on the field, he should develop into a top notch zone coverage guy.
