H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 07/05/2023
Unverified at 6-foot-3 and 210-pounds, appears to possess growth potential to add additional weight to his frame. Displays above average athleticism in his ability to play both on and off the ball at the linebacker position.
Quick twitch explosive player off the edge that flashes good knee bend and hip flexibility bending the corner. Shows the ability to win with initial short area foot and body quickness at the point of attack. More of a speed rusher at this point of his physical development but flashes some speed to power ability in his pass rush. Will need to continue to refine his technique and play more controlled but excels as a high motor player with good play speed that has lateral chase ability. Flashes drop ability as an off-ball backer and has a natural tendency to play in space.
Possesses somewhat of a tweener frame off the edge and will more than likely need a year or two to add more weight to defend the run more consistently. Not prototypical for the position in regards to height, weight, and speed but has the ability to be effective as a situational pass rusher at the next level. Projects as a developmental starter on Saturdays with the ability to add immediate value on special teams.
