| Scouting Report | Potential |
| With more focus and better technique he will develop solid tackling skills. His aggressiveness will serve him well as he gets more experience in this defense. For a defensive tackle, he's eventually going to have pretty good speed. He is going to develop the type of agility you don't expect from a defensive tackle. |
