H.S. Scouting Report
2 evaluationsEvaluated 12/20/2019
Projection
4-7 Round Day 3Big-framed with good height. Barrel-chested but owns space to continue adding bulk. Currently built like a SDE, but likely will slide inside long term. Size and play style should allow for scheme and role versatility. Shows consistently good strength at the point of attack. Plays with good extension and disengages to make plays against the run. Solid, physical tackler who finishes plays. Gets hands up to affect passing lanes. Pursuit speed improved as a junior. Can improve balance and body control. Needs to expand move set as a rusher. Naturally high center of gravity compromises leverage consistency. Can improve explosiveness at the snap. Often dominates overmatched O-linemen, but equal strength/power can neutralize him at the point of attack. Legitimate high-major prospect with long-term potential to reach the NFL Draft.
