Three-year starter who is an explosive and athletic tackle and end combination player, depending on a team’s defensive scheme. Can play tackle or end in the 4-3 or an end in the 3-4. Nebraska plays a 4-2-5 defensive package. A very reactive player with good instincts. Plays well inside out. Takes good angles downfield in pursuit. Finds the ball quickly. Feels pressure and reacts on the move. Reads and reacts quickly to offensive line blocking angles, trap, and combination blocks. A right place at the right time player. Always around the ball. An unselfish player who draws double teams and stacks the line of scrimmage so the linebacker or other line mates can make a tackle.
