Three-year starter and a first team All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 73/16/6/0/4. Second team All-Conference choice his junior campaign posting 55/14/3.5/1/2. Used at middle linebacker as a sophomore and recorded 58/7/2/0/3.
Athletic prospect with top size/speed numbers. Intelligent, quick reading or anticipating the action and does not bite on play action passes or get caught out of position. Moves well laterally, gets depth on his pass drops and effective covering runners out of the backfield. Holds his ground against blocks and finds his way to the ballcarrier. Squares into his tackles and wraps up. Not fast off the corner, does not flash onto the scene or play with much suddenness. Not overly productive considering his size/speed numbers. Should create more of an impact and make more plays in pass coverage. Needs to turn it up a notch and attack the game to become a productive starter at the next level. Late Third Round.
