| N/A |
– Great size, build for the position
– Comfortable working in the box; good eyes to find the football consistently
– Sound, physical tackler; very few misses on tape
– Former linebacker whose instincts show up against the run; decisive attacking downhill with good angles in pursuit
– Has good range in the secondary; able to turn and run and track the football
– Good hand-eye coordinator to break up passes downfield
– Able to play anywhere on the field defensively; smart player with good feel for role snap to snap
THE BAD
– Lengthy injury history, particularly with his foot, which caused him to miss entire 2024 season
– Wasn’t asked to consistently handle deep safety role at Texas Tech; questions about long speed downfield
– Physical defender that might be too grabby for NFL level in coverage
– Wasn’t able to finish off plays with turnovers in one year at Texas Tech; couple of dropped INT opportunities
– Just one year of competition at FBS level; just two full seasons at safety, too
2025 stats: played in 14 games and finished with 78 tackles, 6.
