H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 05/26/2021
Projection
4-7 Round Day 3High school quarterback and safety. Dominant player at a smaller school. Well built, strong, and shows physicality as a hitter and in taking on blocks. Has good speed and can get from place to place on the field quickly with good acceleration. That makeup speed shows up in coverage and he has good change of direction as well but needs more reps in man to man coverage and technical polish there. With his size, some schools may look at converting him to linebacker, but he has shown the athletic qualities to stay as a safety if need be. Could also be a hybrid.
