One year starter, Salem, VA. Lengthy with an ideal frame for an off the ball linebacker. Was a rotational sub package player before this year aligning from stack to overhang. Normally plays with leverage and can fit inside gaps, but at his best against the run chasing to the perimeter. Excellent range and angles to the ball. Excellent blitz linebacker with a knack for timing inside gaps along with an incredible closing burst. Solid gather and drive on tackles, he consistently finishes tackles and rarely misses. In coverage he is adept at re-routing seam routes and has the speed to run with a vertical release from an inside receiver. Quick to process route combinations, he uses his length and positioning to erase throwing windows. Has the speed to match backs and tight ends. Has a tendency to play upright on blocks and while he has a strong punch, there’s inconsistency disengaging. At his best in coverage, but he has the developmental upside of a three down NFL linebacker.
