Scouting Report

Coverage-first safety whose instincts and ball skills mask some physical limitations, with a breakout junior campaign of 73 tackles, six TFLs, three interceptions, and six pass breakups. His ability to read quarterbacks and create turnovers will appeal to defensive coordinators, though limited speed means he'll need schematic help on vertical routes against top-tier receivers. Tied for the FBS lead with five interceptions in his final season.

Player Comparison

Strengths

• Exceptional ball skills and hands – attacks the football with the aggression of a receiver making contested catches
• Reads quarterback's eyes like a seasoned veteran, consistently jumping routes before the ball leaves the passer's hand
• Willing and physical tackler who arrives with bad intentions and delivers solid contact in open-field situations
• Shows good range in coverage, tracking deep balls effectively and providing reliable help over the top
• Demonstrates elite football IQ, diagnosing plays pre-snap and adjusting coverage responsibilities based on offensive alignment and motion
• Plays with infectious energy and swagger that elevates teammates' performance and creates momentum-shifting moments for the defense
• Versatile coverage skills allow him to match slot receivers and provide help in multiple coverage schemes
• Natural playmaker who consistently finds ways to impact games beyond the stat sheet through deflections and quarterback pressures

Areas to Improve

• Inconsistent tackling technique leads to missed opportunities, particularly when attempting to make plays in space against bigger ball carriers
• Speed limitations show up in coverage against elite burners, as he lacks true recovery speed
• Can be overly aggressive in pursuit, taking poor angles that allow ball carriers to slip tackles and gain extra yards
• Needs to improve consistency in zone coverage drops, occasionally getting caught in no-man's land between coverage responsibilities
• Struggles with leverage against bigger tight ends and receivers when asked to cover them in isolation situations
