California | Hometown: Oxnard, CA | HT: 6003 | WT: 199 | 40 time: 4.50 | Hand: 0918 | Arm: 3114 | Wing: 7512
Five year starter (three at UNLV). First team All-ACC in 2024 and honorable mention All-Mountain West in 2022. Transferred to California in 2023. Has good size and above average length for a corner. Played various man to man concepts along with outside zone using cover three, quarters and variations. In off coverage, shows a smooth pedal and timing to lateral run and turn and run. Excellent vision balancing route combinations in zone coverage. Gets to deep outside responsibility and consistently closes voids in overlapping zones. Effective in press man and trail technique as he can mirror route breaks and is quick to recover if separated. In press man, shows an off-hand jam but seems more comfortable in a soft, reactive press mirroring off the line. Rarely gives up inside leverage. Eye discipline is elite with a knack for breaking on the delivery key while maintaining position on routes. Has an incredible burst with the ball in the air to go with ability to get to the ball at the catch point. Solid hands for interceptions and has been very productive with 14 career interceptions. Wraps up on tackles but lacks a physical presence in run support and can be passive at times attacking blocks. Can get a little hitched up flipping his hips on turn and run or lateral transitions. At times gets separated on route breaks against shifty receivers testing his recovery ability. When separated, has a habit of grabbing and is subject to interference and holding penalties. His size and ball skill will make him attractive as an outside corner for teams playing a lot of zone. He’s also been a solid kick returner adding to his value.
