Two-year starter awarded All-Conference honors since his junior
campaign. All-American selection as a senior after posting
52/17.5/12.5 and breaking up six passes. Junior totals were 56/15/9.5,
with 9.5 pass break-ups.
Pos:
Game-impacting defender with tremendous upside. Breaks down well,
is fast to the sidelines and creates a lot of havoc. Effectively uses
his hands, rushes the edge with speed and has the ability to alter his
angle of attack and pursue from the backside. Fluid moving in reverse,
displaying a back-pedal when asked to play in space. Plays with
tremendous pad level, balance and rarely is off his feet. Covers a lot
of area, displaying speed in every direction.
Neg:
Tends to turn it on and off. Gives half-hearted efforts to shed
blocks and does not always chase the action. Accused of playing as
though he did not want to get hurt early in his senior campaign. |
