The All-Region Corner stats from the defensive side of the ball include 44 total tackles, 30 of those as solo tackles, 5 TFLs, 1 sack, 2 INTs, including one of those as a pick-six, 2 forced fumbles, and 7 pass deflections. He is also a highly effective special teams player, both as a gunner and as a returner, as he did have two kick return touchdowns. He is a remarkable athlete with tremendous speed and impressive agility to move smoothly at the cornerback position. He has the position flexibility to play on the outside or in the slot. What is truly impressive about his game is his scrappiness and physicality, as he can overwhelm opponents with hard-hitting and powerful punches that often lead to incompletions or turnovers for his team.
