| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He takes pride in pounding the iron and he'll be rock solid by the end of his college career. Coaches say this kid has an innate ability to get to the ball and could someday lead all safeties in picks. He really seems to 'get it' and coaches think he will become a real force in zone pass coverage someday. With more playing time, his instincts could elevate his play to an elite level. |
