Three-year starter that got some playing time as a freshman. An outstanding athlete that can run and play sideline to sideline. Productive with 282 tackles over the past two years to go along with 28 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He also had two interceptions he returned for touchdowns. Mentally and physically tough. He is instinctive, smart, and competitive. Explosive run through target type hitter. Wrap tackler in the open field. A three-down linebacker that is versatile enough to play inside or outside in any scheme. Plays square to the line of scrimmage. Can play coverage or blitz from a variety of positions. Has a burst to the ball carrier. Intense and focused. Plays with good knee bend and shoots his hands to get under and leverage the offensive lineman. Rarely gets caught up in traffic.
