6’1”, 160-pound cornerback with ideal length and natural cover skills on the perimeter. True lockdown corner who shows the ability to play effectively in both press and off-man coverage. Patient and efficient with his footwork, rarely panics at the line of scrimmage and stays balanced through the route stem. Does an excellent job staying attached in coverage, mirroring receivers and limiting separation. Like his ability to catch/collision receivers at the break point to slow their feet and maintain leverage. Competitive at the catch point, consistently playing through the hands and disrupting timing without relying on grabbing. Displays strong awareness and confidence in coverage with the physical tools to continue adding strength to his frame. High-upside defensive back with the skill set to match up against top receivers. Offered by NAU.
