| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Once he has a good handle on the blitz, he'll make some momentum shifting plays. As he better understands the position, his speed will allow him to always be around the ball. Down the road, his agility and improving body control will help him at linebacker. Keep an eye on this young man because he's going to turn into a devastating tackler. |
