HEIGHT: 6'0"
WEIGHT: 203
POSITIVES
— High motor player who plays every snap at full speed and maximum intensity.
— Good backpedal and quick feet to keep cushion and leverage. Displays control with quick transitions on intermediate and short routes.
— Triggers quickly to the run, screaming downhill to the ball. See ball, get ball.
— Physical tackler who runs through the point of attack, fronts up ball carriers and stops momentum.
NEGATIVES
— Shows some tightness in his midsection, paired with subpar change of direction and lateral movement skills.
— Can get over-extended with speed on the edge. Lacks the desired speed to run the alley.
