Kansas State | Hometown: Omaha, NE | HT: 5113 | WT: 199 | 40 time: 4.37 | Hand: 0958 | Arm: 3078 | Wing: 7400
Two-year starter. Transfer from North Dakota State prior to the 2023 season. Honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2023. Team captain. Aligns as the nickel both to the field and boundary. Solid height but undersized with notably short arms. Plays his best in the slot where he can cover shifty wide receivers with his footwork and agility. Matches receivers step-for-step off the line-of-scrimmage to cut them off on their release. Physical in press man with a violent punch right out of the gate. Versus quick game he reacts quickly to gather and finish. Aggressive at the catchpoint to win contested catch situations. Holds his own on the perimeter in the run game and will force the ball carrier inside. True sideline-to-sideline defender with substantial speed to leverage running backs out of the backfield to the perimeter. Great tackling technique both in the box and in the open field. Excellent effort in pursuit. Excelled on special teams. Fringe range and lacks the versatility to garner significant reps on the back end. Sometimes gets stuck in zone coverage and struggles to react accordingly to what is happening around him unless the quarterback gives it away. Habit of looking back at quarterback out-of-phase. Receivers separate regularly at the top of the route on sharp breaks. When he falls out-of-phase it takes him time to accelerate and catch up. Must improve leverage to prevent receivers from crossing his face. Major length concerns that show up in his play especially as a tackler.
2024 Stats: 60 T, 6.5 TFL, 3 PBU, 3 INT (1 TD). OSR:3/16. VJ-38. Draft projection: 6th-7th round
