Scouting
Report
The Good:
Heady and explosive linebacker that could ultimately project to the
weak-side. Quick reading or anticipating running plays, explosive moving up
the field filling gaps and squares into
tackles, wrapping up ball carriers.
Displays a burst of speed pursuing the ball handler, flies around the action but
also plays smart football. Redirects to
the play nicely and a good athlete.
The Bad:
Undersized, not strong at the point and has tackles broken.
Over-pursues on occasion and takes himself out of the play.
The Skinny:
Needs to physically mature but a solid football
player whose athleticism gives him a good amount of upside potential.
Has the brains and speed to cover the pass, hence a move to the
weak-side is a possibility.
