Three-year starter. Transfer from Bowling Green prior to the 2024 season. Second-team All-Big 10 this past season. Made a permanent move to safety in 2025, having played cornerback in the past. Tall frame with a skinnier body type. Lightning fast to maneuver the field in a heartbeat. Enticing range to hover over top and cover significant ground from depth. Impressive speed makes him a true sideline-to-sideline defender. Quick to process plays and position himself accordingly. Weaves with quarterback intentions ready to pounce. Flips around his frame rapidly with a low center of gravity when he gets looked off by the quarterback. Sees threats enter his zone through his peripheral vision while watching the quarterback, and will pick them up quickly. Matches quarterbacks rolling out of the pocket to take away targets. Great quickness in transition to fire downhill from pedal. Will demolish receivers in the middle of the field to force the ball out. Excellent at tracking the ball in the air matched with excellent anticipation to undercut passes and come away with the ball. Explosive when getting downhill to fill lanes in the run game. Carries running backs to the sideline with impressive lateral agility to maintain leverage. Destroys blocks with solid knockback on contact and sheds properly against receivers. Elite open-field tackler using excellent form and low pads; very rarely misses tackles. Hunts down runners from behind with his speed and effort. Possesses a light frame with undersized arm length. Need to see more consistency taking on blocks from bigger targets such as tight ends. Over-pursues some angles to the ball from depth. Gets run over by receivers due to stopping his feet on contact.
2025 Stats: 72 T, 1.5 TFL, 3 PBU, 4 INT. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
