Three-year starter and an All-Academic award winner in the past. Totaled 62/1/2 as a senior after 83/1/1 the prior year. Led the team in tackles as a red shirt sophomore when his numbers were 118/3/4.
Tough, run defending safety that plays assignment football. Quick reading and anticipating run plays, takes good angles to the action and constantly around the ball. Keeps the play in front of him, gets off blocks and squares into his tackles wrapping up. Rarely makes mental mistakes or gets caught out of position. Does not flash on the scene nor does he show a burst of speed, has difficulty staying with opponents in pass coverage and less than adequate ball skills. Hesitant breaking on the pass and does not show great range. Possible nickel back and situational defender that could move into a starting lineup down the road. Mid Fifth Round
