Very good height and good frame. Good athletic ability displaying good foot speed, change of direction, balance, acceleration, lateral movement, foot quickness, hip fluidity, and explosiveness. Safety and Running Back prospect. As a Safety, he can align deep, in the box, and as a nickelback. He displays good range developed by his speed, acceleration, and change of direction. Very good processing to read the play and his run/pass keys, with good Zone processing in pass coverage to be in position to make a play. Solid man coverage, using his good hip fluidity, change of direction, and speed to keep coverage and mirror the receiver. Good ball skills, showing the ability to play the ball and disrupt the pass with good hands to make an interception when available. Good run support, playing with good strength and explosiveness in the box to shed blocks and make a tackle. Dependable open-field tackler. Can provide a speed rush off the edge using his speed and a shoulder dip to corner offensive tackles and put pressure on the QB. As a Running Back, he displays good patience and vision in the backfield, letting his blocks develop. Good burst, showing good acceleration and balance through the hole to the second level. Shows the ability to weave through blocks downfield to find the best path to gain extra yards. Shows good run strength to finish runs and lowers his shoulder through defenders to gain positive yards through contact. Can provide a basic route tree out of the backfield with soft hands and good ability to quickly become a runner after the catch. Runs with good competitive toughness and dependability to take what is given to him and not create negative plays trying to run beyond his means. Not one to create yards on his own as a ball carrier with elusiveness or power to break good tackles. Overall, a good prospect we project will be a Safety at the next level due to his mental processing, Zone coverage, and run support ability.
