Attacking defender with a solid build at 6’1”, 230 pounds, bringing a physical presence to the front seven. Aggressive run filler who shows the ability to shoot gaps and shed blockers effectively, using good hand placement and technique. Displays positional versatility, lining up at middle linebacker and on the edge as a defensive end. Plays with a relentless motor, pursuing the football with good short-area burst and efficient angles. Heavy, forceful tackler with the natural strength and lower-body power to explode through contact. Finished the season with 86 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and two interceptions, earning 6A First Team All-State honors and being named the 6A Southeast Region Defensive Player of the Year. Moved up over 100 spots to #111 overall in the updated 2026 PRZ rankings.
