Elite / Top 100

Well-put-together safety prospect who has the frame and build to carry quality mass.  Possess tremendous closing speed when working downhill. Has the necessary range to cover from sideline to sideline. High points the ball effectively at the catch point and has quality ball skills. Do not see much film in man coverage but has the hip fluidity and long speed to do so if asked of him. Member of the varsity basketball team as well. One of the safer safety prospects in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
