Strengths

• Quick to read run, showing good agility and speed to get past blockers and finish. Experienced in coverage and gets a strong jam on outside receivers.
• A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
• Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
• Intelligent player who can play "MIKE" linebacker despite his lack of size because of his instincts and ability to find the ball in traffic.
• Good key and diagnosis skills. Quickly locates the ball and shows no wasted motion in getting there. At least adequate lateral agility to avoid blockers and shows good vision and anticipation.

Weaknesses

• Attacks the line but needs work on stacking and shedding blocks.
• Must work on using violent hands and defeating cut blocks. Also needs to build a variety of pass-rush moves.
• Lacks the strength to blow up fullbacks and bulk/length to prevent getting engulfed by better linemen at the second level.
• Lacks functional strength to shed and take on blocks at the point of attack.
• Inconsistent hustle. Only adequate change-of-direction ability. Also loses his balance too often in the open field. Lacks size to bull rush stronger tackles.
