Selected by Miami Dolphins
Round 2, pick 17 (49 overall)
BIO: Second-team All-Conference choice last season after totaling 101 tackles, 7 1/2 tackles for loss and three sacks with seven pass defenses. Started 13 games as a junior totaling 81 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks, while breaking up six passes. Top reserve early in his career who also saw action on special teams.

POSITIVES: Hard working linebacker with solid instincts for the position. Immediately reads or anticipates the action, quick filling gaps up the field yet also displays a good feel in coverage. Effective over the slot receiver and shows good feet and overall range. Cognizant, pursues from the backside, chasing to get involved in the action.

NEGATIVES: Moves well laterally but lacks the explosive burst to the flanks. Not efficient and takes a few too many steps. Wraps up the ball carrier but has tackles broken.

ANALYSIS: Possible nickel linebacker who may be an inexpensive backup at the next level and offer help on special teams.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
