Two year starter with one at Oklahoma State. Transferred to Oklahoma in 2025 after four years with the Cowboys. Tall, lean but well built with imposing length. Extremely versatile, he's played off the ball inside and on the edge. At Oklahoma played the Cheetah position which is equivalent to a big nickel. He primarily played an overhang alignment but would also cover down on a slot, play the middle hole or move into the box. All based on call and formation. Athletic he's fluid in movements and shows agility to play in space and speed to cover tight ends up the seam. Quick to read he uses long arms to separate from lead blockers. At his best chasing outside in or to the perimeter. Has excellent range in pursuit with positive angles to the ball. Has blitz skill with solid acceleration coming off the edge or aligned over a slot. Flashes bend to turn the corner. In zone coverage he's quick dropping and getting depth playing under intermediate routes in the flat and middle hole. Covers ground in his drop and easily flips his hips to close voids in between zones. Stresses the throwing lane with his length. Quarterbacks often pull the ball down looking at him under a target. As a man defender has the speed and agility to match and mirror tight ends and bigger slot receivers. Reliable wrap up tackling skill he makes most plays in space but has had some misses. Not a downhill thumper he will give up yards on plays at him in the box. Lacks functional strength for his size. Not as productive as his skill might indicate playing the ball. His versatility will play well in sub packages and he has special team value.
2025 Stats: 53 T, 9 TFL, 3 PBU, 2 QBH. Draft projection: 6th/7th round
