Strengths

  • Film junkie who shows up at 5:50 AM to study install footage, translating preparation into game-breaking plays consistently
  • Coverage skills belong in a different tax bracket-smooth hips, rangy zone drops, and can mirror tight ends vertically
  • Ball production jumps off the stat sheet with four interceptions and seven passes defensed, showing natural hands and instincts
  • Sideline-to-sideline pursuit speed allows him to erase cutback lanes and chase down plays from the backside
  • Blitzing savvy shows up repeatedly, using vision and burst to knife through protection schemes for seven sacks
  • Open-field tackling technique stays disciplined when defenders get sloppy, breaking down properly and wrapping up in space
  • Clutch gene activated in critical moments, delivering game-sealing plays against West Virginia and North Carolina last season
  • Versatility to align as traditional Will linebacker, overhang defender, or even drop into deep safety rotations when needed

Areas to Improve

  • Frame lacks the density and sand in his pants to anchor against NFL guards climbing to second level
  • Gets displaced too easily when offensive linemen latch on, lacking the functional strength to stack and shed
  • Contact balance wavers when taking on lead blockers without momentum, occasionally getting driven off his spot
  • Lower body power generation needs work to deliver more thump at the point of attack against bigger backs
  • Size limitations at just 225 pounds will require specific scheme fits rather than every-down traditional linebacker roles
