What the tape shows

Very smart, and instinctual Safety. Probably the most instinctual safety I've scouted in the portal next to Caleb Weaver. Flies down hill like a missile and takes on blocks full speed. Has sound feel in man coverage and zone man coverage. Has the IQ to be able to disguise coverages and still maintain assignment. Needs to get better with open field tackles, seen him miss a few open field tackles being out of control and lunging. Needs to work long stride short stride and staying on correct hip. Will be one of the better cover safeties in College Football
