Junior entry, three year starter. Freshman All-American in 2022 and Jim Thorpe award semifinalist in 2023. Twitched up corner with fluid hips and stop-start quickness. Solid length and a tough demeanor on the outside. Played in cover two and three concepts along with a heavy dose of man coverage. In off-coverage often used a press and bail into a lateral run. Quick feet allowed him to stay in phase up the field with an easy turn and run versus a deep route. Wideouts rarely get behind him. As a hard corner shows a stiff jam and flips his hips to stay under an intermediate route and break up on the flat. Good awareness to see multiple threats. In press man can ride a receiver and lock him out on the sideline showing a physical off-hand jam on the turn and run. Flashes mirror ability reacting to route breaks and has recovery speed to close if separated. In trail technique he’s disciplined to keep his focus on the receiver and stay with multiple cuts. Shows a quick plant and drive with the ball in the air on underneath throws. Times his hands to get in the basket from a trail and there’s not much window to get the ball in. Has had excellent ball production as he has soft hands for interceptions and is outstanding, timing reactions on the throw. Has some slight hip tightness as he often gets separated on quick cuts in short space. Gets hung up at times in transition which can be the difference between a completion and a play on the ball. Not an aggressive tackler as he wraps, but lacks finish and often gives up yards after contact. Solid prospect but medical review will be important as he’s recovering from season ending hip surgery.
