H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 10/25/2019
Projection
Power-5 StarterBig-framed linebacker likely projecting to the inside. Only one full-time high school season at linebacker, but outstanding production for Arkansas Class 4A state championship team. Owns space to add bulk and strengthen at next level. Solid, consistent tackler. Plays downhill well. Minds gaps and pursues the run to the edge. Limited tape dropping into coverage. Will need to improve lateral mobility and fluidity to help in coverage and overall pursuit ability. Flashes encouraging arriving power as a hitter, but can improve explosiveness in initial burst and long speed. FBS-caliber linebacker prospect with possible long-term P5 ceiling who could fit multiple schemes in an inside/middle linebacker role.
