College Statistics

Strengths

• Possesses rare size and length combination at 6'4" that allows him to match up against bigger receivers and disrupt passing lanes consistently.
• Demonstrates exceptional route anticipation and ball skills, evidenced by his conference-leading 23 career pass deflections across three seasons at Arizona.
• Shows impressive change-of-direction ability for his frame, allowing him to mirror receivers through breaks without losing significant ground in coverage.
• Brings physical presence at the line of scrimmage with strong hands that can jam receivers and throw off their timing early in routes.
• Displays solid tackling fundamentals and run support instincts, recording 76 career tackles with only 2.5 missed tackles per advanced metrics.
• Exhibits scheme versatility by performing equally well in both man coverage and zone concepts, making him valuable in multiple defensive systems.
• Maintains competitive fire and refuses to back down from physical confrontations, often initiating contact with receivers throughout their routes.
• Shows excellent body control and spatial awareness when defending comeback routes and timing patterns in front of him.

Areas to Improve

• Lacks elite straight-line speed
• Can struggle with initial footwork in his backpedal, occasionally appearing stiff when transitioning from reverse to forward momentum.
• Tends to be overly aggressive in coverage, leading to unnecessary penalties and giving receivers opportunities to create separation underneath.
• Shows limited body flexibility that impacts his ability to contort and make contested catches on balls thrown behind him.
• Needs refinement in reading complex route combinations and can be fooled by well-designed pick plays and crossing concepts.
