He has an elite football mind and snuffs out fakes routinely. Borg always seems to be around the ball, and his closing speed is something you want to avoid dealing with. In coverage, he has good awareness and can create turnovers at will. The soon-to-be BYU Cougar is one of the state’s top defenders.
