Hard-nosed runner who runs behind his pads looking for contact between the tackles despite his lack of ideal size at this point in his career. Unverified size lists him at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds; he looks slightly shorter than his listed height and closer to 175-180 pounds in photos on Twitter/X. Possesses a leaner, athletic frame that should allow him to add a good amount of mass at the next level. Believe he can sit comfortably around 190-195 pounds while continuing to get stronger and more explosive in his lower half in particular. Anything over 200-205 pounds and I think we…

Top Attributes

- Vision and ability to find daylight - Comfort level on inside run - Finishing runs and playing with low pad level - Overall footwork

Areas to Develop

- Explosive ability and acceleration - Lacks true home run ability - Fluidity and elusiveness in space - Lacks ideal build to complement play style

Film Review Notes

Unverified size at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, looks slightly shorter than listed height and closer to 175-180 in Twitter/X photos, but has a frame that can add some good mass to it. Shows physicality when running between the tackles despite lacking the size to be a consistent punisher in the run game. Plays with good contact balance and does a good job of staying on his feet when meeting defenders head-on. Decent burst/suddenness when exploding through the hole. More of a runway player that needs a lane in order to hit top-end speed. Long speed is questionable; he lists a 4.60 40 in his bio but looks closer to a 4.7-4.8 on tape. But for a 2028 prospect, he has time to continue developing his explosive ability and will continue to develop his lower half. Catches the ball well in clips from his Twitter/X. Need to see more from him in his overall athletic movements in order to reach his ceiling.
