Two-year starter. First-team All-CAA in 2024, second-team honors in 2023. Aligned to the boundary and field. Possesses exceptional height and weight with a great frame to work with. Notable athleticism matched with his size makes him an intriguing prospect at the next level. Solid skills at the line-of-scrimmage with a sizable jam. Displays proper man technique; does not open his hips early. Best at covering bigger wide receiver types with less twitch. Polished press and bail technique to drop fluidly. Quick processor as he recognizes route concepts to his side of the field and maintains proper leverage. Quality ball skills especially when everything is in front of him, and will charge into receivers to knock the ball out. Defeat blocks by engaging hands inside and shedding to show up in run support. Can bring down bigger runners with notable strength. Change-of-direction deficiencies create challenges covering shiftier receivers. Below average physicality in man coverage despite his size. Limited foot speed when going vertical. Man coverage technique gets sloppy on deep routes. As an underneath zone defender, will lose track of targets in his zone not in his line of vision. Must improve pursuit angles in order to be a viable last line of defense. Fringe open-field tackling ability and must close space quicker. Candidate to move to safety to take better advantage of his skill set.
