Two-year starter that also played with the first unit as a redshirt sophomore. Second team All- Conference choice last season when he totaled 63/10.5/5.5/0/1. All-Conference choice as a junior when his numbers were 60/4/2/2/10. Has been used in both a three point stance or stood up over tackle.
Athletic and relentless prospect best suited for a three-four defense. Breaks down well, plays low with leverage and deceptively strong. Effectively uses his hands to get off blocks, stays on his feet and forceful moving up the field. Quick and fluid changing direction, fluid getting out to the flanks and quick in all aspects of his game. Works hard and constantly going full steam. Lacks body control, balance and the pure speed for an outside linebacker. Not often used in pass coverage and has difficulty playing in space. Should be able to make the transition to strong side linebacker and at the very least a competent situational pass rusher. Mid Sixth Round.
