H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 06/10/2020
Projection
Power 4 StarterLimited frame relative to position. Below-average height but stoutly built. Explosive interior defender who dominates competition at Oklahoma 2A level. Flashes impressive get-off quickness. Couples initial burst with good closing ability, especially relative to size. High school nose tackle who projects best to 3-technique in four-man front. Naturally low center of gravity with matching leverage consistency. Strong tackler but occasionally hunts the big hit. Functionally athletic but lacks combine or track and field context. Needs to expand pass-rushing move set. Faces significant jump in competition level. Physical ceiling is limited. High-production front-line playmaker who best fits even front in college. Potential to become multi-year starter at the P5 level.
