Three-year starter who played in the hybrid strong safety/linebacker position. Active on the field. Plays better the closer he is to the line of scrimmage. Demonstrates good range on run support. A better than average athlete who can man up against tight ends and slot receivers. Solid in coverage. Had a strong senior year where he made key plays and was always around the ball. Active and confident in the open field. Not overly big or fast, but productive. In between a big safety and a small linebacker. In coverage he has some hip tightness in his turns. Good instincts to quickly read and react to pass or run. A physical and solid tackler when supporting the run. Needs to improve his hand strength to separate from blockers. Will contribute on special teams. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
