Three-year starter who posted 62/4/2 in eight games as a senior
before suffering a season-ending leg injury. Junior totals included 77
tackles after a career-high 83 tackles as a sophomore.
Pos:
Explosive linebacker who plays heads-up football. Displays
outstanding range on the field, makes plays sideline-to-sideline and
quickly closes to the action. Gets depth on drops, nicely redirects to
the action and displays good hands for the pick. Athletic and plays
faster than his forty-time.
Neg:
More of a chase-and-rundown linebacker rather than a defender who
forces the action. Set back with a lot of injury problems in college.
Starting Outside Linebacker [Will] for the Wildcats. Plays on the weak side of the offense.
Team leader in tackles, selected Fox Sports Midseason NU MVP. |
