Four-year starter. Transfer from Clemson prior to the 2024 season. Two-time All-ACC honorable mention, third-team selection and freshman All-America in 2021. Possesses decent height and notable length with a slender frame. Versatility to make an impact both from depth and from nickel. Sees route concepts develop quickly and plays with extraordinary leverage to take away multiple routes at once; his route recognition and zone awareness is what really sets his game apart. Excellent job reading the quarterback from depth and underneath, with burst and acceleration to close on receivers in a hurry. Takes away underneath routes in zone with quickness and processing speed. Exceptional range as a high defender with speed and awareness to take away deep threats. Possesses the speed to carry fast wide receivers in man coverage vertical while staying in-phase. Notable ball tracking ability to put himself in position to pluck passes out of the air and break them up at the catchpoint. Willing to come downhill and fill a lane in run support. A complementary threat off the edge as a blitzer. Plant-and-drive ability from depth needs work, as he lacks the fluidity to change direction on a dime. Limited experience in man coverage, and needs to refine his technique. Inconsistent effort in backside pursuit. Fringe functional strength makes it difficult to break down and shed blocks in space and in the box. Over-pursues running lanes and misses tackles too often. Allows significant yards-after-contact as he stops his feet regularly on contact and his strength deficiencies. Can develop into a formidable player at the next level if he can increase his strength.
2024 Stats: 69 T, 4 TFL, 7 PBU, 1 QBH, 1 FF, 5 INT. OSR:10/16. Draft projection: 2nd/3rd round
