The combination of a motor and POA skills is what sets the stage here. He battles with his hands, rips himself into the backfield, and can bend around blockers. He plays through the whistle and remains engaged on the QB, even when he is in retreat mode. He is still raw, so he is only going to get better. This guy gets after it and lives in the backfield as a result.

He sets his contain very well, and is someone who has been viewed as a fast riser in our rankings. We have high hopes and expectations for what he will bring to the camp, and he will make his case for being one of the better names in the class of 2028. We wouldn’t be shocked one bit if this is used as a stepping stone to college offers.

He used his quickness off the edge, and his hands were great throughout the season. He will be one of the first guys in the class who will get looked at in the state of Georgia, because he also has solid size to go along with these things.
