Mississippi | Hometown: Lake Providence, LA | HT: 6013 | WT: 202 | 40 time: 4.60 | Hand: 0958 | Arm: 3134 | Wing: 7600
Three-year starter. Transfer from Louisiana-Monroe prior to the 2025 season. Experienced safety with 50 career games under his belt. Commands the back end of the defense and calls coverage checks. Highly intelligent player who often finds his way to the football. Lateral agility when bailing to deep zone is excellent, allowing him to gain depth quickly while keeping everything in front of him. Possesses speed to run with receivers downfield. Keeps his head on a swivel to locate threats while reading quarterback intentions. Sniffs out throws before they happen and triggers quickly to get in the way. Will fire straight into receivers to light them up for a tackle or knock the ball loose. Despite limited opportunities, shows solid man coverage skills with eye discipline and well-timed punches. Plays hands well to break up passes with back to the quarterback. Triggers quickly on screens with solid burst and quick processing speed. Ready to pounce downhill when he reads run. Form tackler with proper wrap-up and strength to bring down targets of all sizes. Speed looks a step slow in coverage and in pursuit; can get away with it with his quick processor. Some tightness in his hips when changing direction. Needs to be more assertive when taking on blocks; gets driven back by smaller receivers. Angles in space need some work and slow him down in pursuit.
2025 Stats: 73 T, 1 TFL, 10 PBU, 3 INT. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
