Expert Analysis
Cole Laing | Prep Redzone Scout
Adequate height with good frame and size. Good athletic ability with very good foot speed and explosiveness, good acceleration, foot quickness, lateral agility, balance, hand quickness, change of direction, solid flexibility, and hip fluidity. Displays good mental processing to diagnose and utilizes his very good foot speed and good acceleration to react and come downhill quickly at the point of attack for his assignment. Good versus the inside run, using his speed, quickness, explosiveness, and balance to be in position at his gap alignment and has the quickness to outmaneuver offensive linemen winning with speed, using his hands and a shoulder dip to shed blocks. Very good versus the outside run showing very good range to cover the edge of the field with his speed and lateral agility. Very good tackler who can generate explosiveness in a half step to stop the ball carrier and tackle through him. Solid pass rushing skills and can be blitzed against IOLs and OTs, using his speed and shoulder dip to put pressure on the QB. Shows good zone integrity in pass coverage, with good ability to key the QB’s eyes and step in front of the throw. Overall, a good prospect who has the athleticism to play at a D1 program and can be an early contributor at a DII program. Plays Linebacker but could be developed into a hybrid Safety/LB role which would be a better fit for his height and size. Finished the season with 97 tackles, 31 tackles for loss, 16 QB pressures, 2 sacks, 4 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles, and a State Championship.
