Three-year starter. Transfer from Mississippi prior to the 2025 season. Honorable mention All-Big 10 this past season. Well undersized prospect with tiny arms. Plays all over the field for Oregon's defense. Fluid back pedal to gain depth quickly. Quick feet with polished footwork to break in transition swiftly. Can make all the breaks with impressive athleticism and change-of-direction skills. Reacts instantaneously to the break from off-man to get in the receiver's pocket. In-phase he sinks hips effortlessly to match receivers on routes using eye discipline to react immediately. Quality range in his zone to roam and cover up his zone with authority. Really impressive ball skills with his back to the quarterback. Turns his head to find the ball in-phase and plucks passes with soft hands. Enjoys getting involved in the trenches. Takes on contact with toughness and creates knockback on engagement. Solid hand strength to shed blocks against receivers and stack quickly. Hard perimeter edge setter ready to jump on runners. Considerable angles in space take him to the ball often. Not afraid to throw his weight into runners to knock them down. Tiny frame that will make it difficult to hold up at the next level. Shows difficulty holding up receivers in press. Falls out-of-phase far too often and shows difficulty catching back up. Habit to grab when receivers separate which will lead to penalties. Fringe acceleration out of the break allows receivers to separate. Short arms make it challenging to extend against longer blockers. Tackles high and lacking strength causes numerous misses in space.
2025 Stats: 39 T, 1 TFL, 6 PBU, 1 QBH, 1 FF, 1 INT. Draft projection: 5th/6th round
