Posted career numbers of 72-15-10 during his sophomore campaign.

POSITIVES: Hard working player who lacks the top upside potential for the next level. Built low to the ground, plays with leverage and quick off the snap. Moves laterally getting to the flanks and makes plays against the ball carrier.

ANALYSIS: Average athlete with only marginal growth potential, which will hamper him at the next level.
