Two-year starter. Typically aligns on the edge with some appearance inside as a walked-up linebacker. Undersized frame with long legs and a muscular midsection. Latches on with hands inside to maintain leverage. Enticing strength despite his small frame to sit down and control his gap assignment versus run. Plays with excellent leverage; gets low with hands underneath pads to hold up on the edge. Uses long-arm on engagement to make himself bigger than he is. Twitched-up athlete who can get around tight ends with sudden movements and polished hand usage. Fires inside blockers instantly to reset in the backfield. Squeezes down in the backfield with lightning fast closing speed to meet runners before they get to the line. Agility and unorthodox footwork help set up pass rush moves from different angles. Displays multiple ways to get around tackles including an impressive dip when speed rushing, along with a side-step into a violent chop. Impressive bend getting incredibly low to shorten his path to the signal caller. Widens out tackles getting upfield before slanting inside abruptly creating easy running lanes to the backfield. Wraps up with consistency to take down runners in condensed areas and in space. Makes plays in pursuit with notable foot speed. Extensive special teams background that will translate to the next level immediately. Choppy steps off the line slow down his initial burst. Well-undersized body and short arms could cause difficulty holding up in the run game at the next level. Difficulty getting any sort of push into the backfield. Gets stuck running the loop often against more athletic linemen.
