This Taft linebacker racked up 69 tackles, 15 TFL, 7 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles.  Plays mostly on the edge with his good length and bend.  Wins with quickness off the edge getting after the QB. Pursues the ball.  Takes on blockers while still being able to make the tackle.  Sets the edge well with his strength.
