📝 Scouting Notes
Refined Ball Hawk: Leverages his former safety background to track interceptions and disrupt passing lanes at an elite level.
High IQ Recognition: Boasts a 92 Awareness rating, allowing him to diagnose offensive schemes and beat blockers to the spot.
Elite Tackling Machine: A reliable wrap up finisher who rarely misses in space, recording 107 tackles in his breakout freshman year.
Versatile Pursuit: Displays sideline to sideline range, effectively chasing down explosive backs and receivers across the field.
Pro Ready Frame: Possesses the ideal height and weight to handle the physical toll of an NFL middle linebacker role immediately.
Red Flags/Legal/Character Check: No arrests or off field disciplinary issues found.
Top End Breakaway Speed: While explosive in short areas, some scouts question if his 4.60 40 yard dash can keep pace with elite NFL "burners" in space.
Historical Consistency: Experienced a statistical "sophomore slump" in 2024 (83 tackles vs. 107 as a freshman) before returning to form in 2025.
Lateral Fluidity: Occasionally shows stiffness when changing direction at high speeds, which can lead to missed angles against shifty, dual threat quarterbacks.
