| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He's always been an outstanding athlete and will someday have exceptional agility compared to other safeties. He's got a good, solid base and should be able to develop an above average amount of strength. He thrives on contact and will eventually evolve into one of the best tackling safeties you'll find. With a little more time on the field, he should develop into a top notch zone coverage guy. |
