Expert Analysis
Cole Laing | Prep Redzone Scout
A coverage LB with very good height and solid size and frame. Good athletic ability with good explosiveness, flexibility, balance, acceleration, foot quickness, lateral agility, change of direction, hip fluidity, hand quickness, and solid foot speed. Good zone coverage showing good zone processing and awareness of the WR routes and the QB’s eyes. Solid range in coverage to cover hash-to-hash. Good ability to jump routes to disrupt the passing lane. Shows good ball skills and the ability to catch the ball outside his frame to make an interception or to deflect the pass. Can man coverage versus TEs and RBs out of the backfield. Solid versus the run, with good balance and explosiveness at the point of attack when filling his gap. Shows a good shoulder dip to create a small target for offensive linemen, allowing him to use his quickness to bypass their blocks with good flexibility and balance. A physically tough player who can take on contact consistently and continue to play at a high level. In 9 games he had 74 tackles, 37solo, 13 tackles for loss, 3 interceptions (plus one 96-yard pick 6 called back), and 1 blocked punt. Also played TE on offense. Overall, a solid player that you can play in a pass coverage role who will also be dependable against the run. Will be successful at a DII or DIII program, and may produce some low-level Division I interest as well.
