Scouting
Report
The
Good: Terrific athlete growing into the position and
improving almost weekly. Fluid and smooth moving about the field, easily
getting out to the flanks when defending the
run. Collapses laterally making plays up and down the line of scrimmage and quick closing on
the ball handler. Breaks down well, quick changing direction and rarely off his feet.
The
Bad: Lacks the
explosive first step off the snap. Not
big, handled at the point and has great difficulty getting off blocks once engaged with blockers. Slow
locating the ball and play at times.
The
Skinny: A lot of upside potential but would prefer he stay in school one more season.
