The 6'1" cornerback from Catholic-New Iberia High School in Louisiana initially flourished with the Ragin' Cajuns, logging 59 tackles and 14 pass breakups across three seasons.

With the Crimson Tide, he recorded 12 tackles and five pass breakups, showing particular effectiveness in crucial moments, including multiple deflections in the SEC Championship game against Georgia.
The New Iberia native's journey from a three-star recruit to SEC competitor demonstrates his developmental trajectory. His high school career included leading his team to a state title in 2017, followed by a championship game appearance in 2018 and semifinal showing in 2019. The multi-sport athlete earned 7-2A District MVP honors in 2018, showcasing his natural athletic abilities across football, basketball, and track.

- Contact balance and wrap technique need refinement, especially against downhill runners in space
- Over-sets in press alignment, creating vulnerability to quick inside releases and slant patterns
- Zone spacing needs development, particularly in matching route combinations from trips formations
- Transition speed from pedal suffers when faced with sudden breaks, creating separation windows underneath
Scouting Report: Summary
