BIO: Immediately broke into the starting lineup as a red-shirt freshman and awarded All- Conference honors the past Two-years. Posted 50 tackles and led the team with eight INTs and 24 pass defenses last season after 61-3-24 the previous year. Effective punt returner early in his career. Ran poorly at the Scouting Combine.

POSITIVES: Solid man-to-man cover corner coming off a tremendous senior campaign. Displays excellent wherewithal on the field, correctly positions himself against opponents and makes a lot of plays against the ball. Fluid transitioning off the line, displays good footwork and times his pass defenses well. Instinctive and quickly reads the play. Helps out in run defense and effective on kick coverage.

NEGATIVES: Does more side shuffling than backpedaling, loses out to bigger opponents and lacks deep speed.

ANALYSIS: Well built and can be used as a press corner or put on the field as a nickel back placed over the slot receiver. Should have success at the next level.

PROJECTION: Late Fifth Round
