| Scouting Report | Potential |
| From what he's shown so far, he should end up having good speed for a linebacker. He'll eventually develop into one of the more aggressive linebackers you will see. He's a tireless worker who feels he can develop into a good coverage guy with a little more time. He's expected to end up having good instincts that will really help his play. |
