Whitwood is a steady, well-rounded linebacker who brings consistent effort and athleticism to the second level. He moves well laterally and shows natural pursuit ability, often finding ways to stay involved in plays even when the action moves away from him. He still has room to grow in coverage, but his instincts and motor make him a valuable part of the North Eugene defense.
