Four-year starter. Big, long cornerback with a sizable frame and decent arm length. Translates best as an outside corner where he can overwhelm receivers with his size. He is a menace in press coverage with excellent line-of-scrimmage skills and an aggressive play-style. Keeps square hips on slow releases and does not open up prematurely. Strength and aggression in his punch at the line-of-scrimmage to hold receivers in place on their release. Man technique is solid; he can stay in-phase with receivers on most routes around the field. Off-pedal is smooth as he maintains leverage over his targets. Glides across the field with a smooth bail and keeps everything in front of him. Excellent burst out of his break and lightning quick to snap downhill on underneath routes. Possesses the speed to carry receivers vertical and across the field. Solid at recovering when he falls out-of-phase and uses his long strides to catch back up. Cuts receivers off on deep routes to force incompletions. Tracks the ball well in the air and utilizes his size and length to get his hands in front of throws to force incompletions. Tough against blockers on the perimeter and will stand his ground. Solid tackler with strength and technique to bring down runners. Occasionally will punch with both hands locking his hips in place and allowing receivers to separate immediately. Grabs high and is prone to gathering holding calls. Route recognition is hit or miss in zone coverage and he can struggle to understand concepts attacking him. He does not provide a lot of value against the run and sometimes lacks effort in this area.
2024 Stats: 14 T, 1 TFL, 2 PBU, 2 INT (1 TD). OSR:25/25. VJ-32.5. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
