Elite / Top 100

Interior defender that plays with incredible pad level for someone his stature who consistently wins by playing underneath his opponent’s pads and knifing through the line of scrimmage. Tremendous frame and build measuring in at 6-foot-4, 250 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan. Ran an electronically-timed 5.27 40-yard dash during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Also ran a solid 12.18 100m during his junior track and field season. One of the top wrestlers in the state of Nevada finishing as the state runner-up in the 285-pound division during his junior wrestling campaign. Plays with excellent balance and body control. Solid use of length and violent hands, rarely detaches from blockers once engaged. More of a power rusher that relies on bull rush and long arm. High motor player who consistently chases from backside. Excellent ability to stack and shed in the run game. Has moments where he loses sight of the ball carrier and works himself out of position. Needs to improve gap discipline. Extremely high floor prospect. Will produce early on at the next level and will be a sure-fire draft pick. Ceiling will be determined on his retaining of athleticism after adding necessary weight.
