Verified measurement at 6-foot-0.5, 165 pounds in April 2026. He has adequate height for a corner, though he isn't bulky, which could limit him against bigger receivers and likely push him toward inside receivers and slots. He's a relatively slender corner with adequate length, possessing a +2 wingspan-to-height ratio. Lean and wiry, with a frame that could add more mass to allow for more physicality in press coverage.

Good play recognition and pass identification Takes good, proper angles to attack passing lanes Shows good physicality and willingness to hit
Areas to Develop
Top-end speed and burst More body mass and weight
Film Review Notes
Shows adequate size and length, able to cover inside on slots and outside receivers. Above-average athleticism, decent fluidity, and good, albeit not great, speed against receivers, but compensates with physicality at the line by jamming and redirecting. Solid open-field tackler with good ball skills and active hands. Could be better suited as a safety with more body mass.
