Four-year starter. Transfer from Auburn prior to the 2025 season. Second-team All-ACC this past season. Versatile athlete typically aligning at nickel with reps at safety and in the box based on formation. Excellent footwork both in pedal and bail to keep threats in front of him with athleticism to switch directions in an instant. Exceptional processing speed to anticipate plays before they happen and put himself in position early. Covers area quickly underneath and midpoints multiple threats while reading quarterback ready to attack the ball. Accelerates in an instant when the ball comes out to get his hands in the way and break up passes. Sticks to receivers like glue when the quarterback is scrambling out. Complementary run defender who plays bigger than his size. Will battle to set the edge with a physical engagement. Strikes with a powerful punch and drives receivers back to win the line-of-scrimmage on the perimeter. Finds multiple ways to defeat blocks with elusiveness and physicality. Twitchy athlete capable of working around blockers with quick footwork to attack ball carriers inside. Able to locate runners through bodies and close space quickly. Takes solid angles to the football regularly. Lowers his pad level and runs his feet on contact to finish tackles. Plays with his hair on fire. Always sprinting to the football and makes tons of play in pursuit. Some problems in man coverage persist; will look for the ball out-of-phase, and can get turned around on stutter steps. Light frame allows bigger targets to run through him in press situations. Ducks his head and takes his eyes off his target, leading to missed tackles in space.
2025 Stats: 64 T, 13 TFL, 5 sacks, 5 PBU, 8 QBH, 2 FF, 2 INT (2 TD). Draft projection: 2nd/3rd round
