- Has pass rushing ability, didn't seem to be used that way a lot at EMCC, but it's in the skill set

- Looks natural in coverage situations, both zone and man, can read the QB, and has the ability to turn and run with receivers

- Plays downhill in the run game, little to no hesitation, sees a clear gap, and goes

- Plays violent, in the way you want from a linebacker

- Played mostly inside linebacker in a 4-2-5 look in most clips, but he also played both hybrid positions safety/linebacker (Spur) and linebacker/defensive end (Raider). He looked natural playing all three, being that versatile will be a huge asset once he gets on campus

- Seems to just play, doesn't have to think or process, the game comes naturally to him. Allows him to play fast

Concerns:

- He plays tall and tackles too high for my liking

- His style could lead to him being fooled on misdirection or delay type plays

- His violence and high tackling could lead to targeting penalties
