BIO: Three-year starter pressed into action as a true freshman. Posted 52 tackles, two INTs and led the team with 12 pass breakups last year. Junior totals were 56-0-10 after 32 tackles as a sophomore. Recently ran in the mid-4.5’s during Pro-Day. POSITIVES: intelligent and hard working defensive back limited by poor speed. Aggressive, effective in press coverage and likes to mix it up. Reads the action, keeps the play in front of him and displays a solid break on the ball. Comes up the field defending the run and stays with assignments. NEGATIVES: Plays to his poor forty time, cannot stay with opponents down the field or quickly follow them from their breaks. ANALYSIS: Limited in the number of schemes he'll be effective but could a possible zone corner who’ll offer a helping hand on special teams. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
