Strengths

• Good length at 6'3" allows him to disrupt passing lanes and contest catches with receivers at the catch point.
• Decent hip flexibility for his size, showing adequate transition ability when changing directions in coverage.
• Comfortable in press-man coverage where he can use his length to jam receivers and disrupt timing at the line.
• Shows ball awareness with solid hands, demonstrated by his 10 pass breakups leading the nation in 2024.
• Sound tackler who wraps up well in space and doesn't miss many opportunities to bring down ball carriers.
• Willing run defender who engages blockers and makes tackles when needed, though not his strongest suit.
• Plays with confidence and doesn't back down from challenging matchups against quality receivers.
• Has experience in different coverage schemes and can contribute on special teams while developing his skills.

Areas to Improve

• Subpar long speed will be exploited by NFL-caliber receivers
• Zone coverage technique remains inconsistent, often losing spatial awareness and allowing receivers to find soft spots in coverage.
• Lean 190-pound frame may struggle to handle the physicality of bigger NFL receivers who can muscle through his press coverage.
• Technical refinement needed in route recognition and anticipation to compete with polished professional route runners who create separation.
• Limited experience against elite competition raises questions about his ability to immediately translate skills to the professional level.
