is a strong breakout candidate for the 2025 season. He has the ideal length and size and the potential to add more mass. He effectively utilizes his power, solid upfield burst, and maintains good hand placement to create leverage. This combination enables him to engage and extend, which helps him generate pressure in the pocket or in the backfield. As a result, he exhibits good play strength and consistently makes plays behind the LOS. His ability to quickly shed blocks is notable. Keep an eye on him throughout this spring and summer.
