Four-year starter. Team captain. First-team FCS All-America and All-Heartland Conference this past season. Well-sized cornerback prospect with long arms. Calm footwork off the line matching receivers step-for-step with square hips to cut them off. Polished scootch technique that helps him trigger on routes underneath while staying ready to carry threats deep. Sticks like glue to receivers all over the field. Great at rerouting receivers from off coverage using his sheer size and toughness to slow them down. Considerable hip fluidity to flip around his frame in an instant. Gets his head around in a split-second to baseball turn while staying in-phase. Excellent feel for spacing and closes cushions quickly downfield. Enticing athleticism with quick feet, loose hips, and length that give him plenty of range in zone coverage. Impressive recovery speed to get in the way of passes even when he falls behind. Squeezes receivers to the sideline to force difficult throws. Locates the ball in the air and uses soft hands to haul them in for interceptions. Violence at the catchpoint to disrupt passes. Solid tackling technique in condensed spaces. Willing run defender not afraid to attack running backs in space. Regularly plays with chaotic unorthodox technique that makes him susceptible to giving up easy completions as he gets out of place. Punches lack strength in press. Can get stacked quickly on wide releases with fringe lateral agility. Handsy playstyle can lead to penalties. Flies down like a bullet but breaks down too late and lunges, causing him to miss tackles in space. Will need to adjust to higher level of competition; only three career games against FBS opponents.
2025 Stats: 18 T, 5 PBU, 4 INT. OSR:6/23. VJ-42. Draft projection: 5th/6th round
