Wyoming | HT: 6003 | WT: 232 | 40 time: 4.73 | Arm: 3038 | Hand: 0914 | Wing: 7212
Three year starter. First-team All-Mountain West in 2022 and 2023. Muscular build and decent size. Fundamentally sound linebacker who is a great example of a try hard guy. Not the best athlete but his effort and technique has made him highly productive. Makes a lot of tackles inline and outside the box. Above average run fits from alley to alley. He is normally in good position to make plays. Stays on the back hip of the running back on plays extended outside and breaks into a shuffle to handle cutback. Can blow up power runs with downhill fills. Squares up at the right time to meet a ball carrier on an off-tackle scrape. Has tackling skill to gather and drive through a tackle. Hustles in pursuit and plays to the whistle. Flashes ability to stun and separate from blocks on the move. Has shown some blitz skill and can anticipate a gap. In coverage, he can spot drop and in a limited area can plant and drive on the throw. Somewhat segmented in his pass drop and he lacks range in coverage. Struggles some to change direction to flip his hips and find the throwing lane consistently. Can get upright on blocks and climbing linemen in his path can wash him out of the play. Block destruction is inconsistent. He has redeeming qualities as a run defender. If he can play special teams, he has a chance to stick on a roster as a backup.
2023 Stats: 109 T, 4 TFL, 2 sacks, 6 PBU, 3 QBH, 2 FF, 1 INT. OSR:35/37. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
