Two year starter with one at Villanova. Transferred to NC State in 2024. Became a full-time starter in 2025. Solid build with shorter than average arms. Fundamentally sound corner in all phases, he has experience in several coverage concepts and techniques. Has a physical playing style with ball skills for pass break ups and interceptions. In press man, normally ignores first move away from leverage staying in phase throughout the route. Shows a well placed off-hand jam on outside releases. In off coverage, has a deliberate pedal adjusting speed to receivers' pace. Tight man turn keeps him connected on vertical routes. Has functional speed to cover deep. As a Cover 2 corner, flashes re-route skill to level receivers off and sink underneath. Also shows a catch technique in deep outside coverage with enough agility to quickly turn and run on a receiver's break. Overall a good feel for zone coverage with vision to see and balance multiple routes. Plays in between short and intermediate routes in Cover 2 with ability to react short or deep. Closes voids in overlapping zones to close throwing windows. Shows a quick plant and drive on underneath throws. Has been a factor in run support with ability to stack and shed stalk blocks on outside runs and screens. Effective wrap up tackler with a low missed tackle rate. Cushion can be inconsistent, either too big or he lets a receiver get up on his toes. Has some hip tightness which shows reacting to dig routes and double moves. Can get separated and put in recovery mode chasing across the field. Can take a false step and get grabby in those situations. Cover 2 technique has some inconsistency on re-route and positioning. Has moved the board with a solid 2025 season.
