Strengths

• Fits best in a zone system at the next level due to size and ability to close to the ball.
• Has good foot quickness and short-area burst to work well in tight areas.
• Takes accurate angles to the ballcarrier. A strong, aggressive tackler and doesn't back down against the run.
• Has good awareness and quick feet. Fluid backpedal, aggressive attacking the receiver from the snap, and flashes spectacular ball skills.
• A coordinated athlete with good footwork and balance. A heady cover player with above-average · feel and anticipation in space.

Weaknesses

• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• Has suspect instincts in coverage and needs to show better pre snap recognition.
• Needs to get stronger. Too easily lost in the trash. Not a sudden athlete and shows body stiffness when attempting to quickly redirect.
• Holds the ball loosely. Inconsistent in run support. Average tackler
• Vulnerable to big plays trying to bait the quarterback.
