Recruiting Class of 2023
As a College Recruit
Polished, developed defensive back with positional versatility and a physical mentality. Has good stature and size, checking in at 6-foot-0.5 and around 190 pounds with a 31-inch arm prior to his senior season. Very physically developed. A smooth mover and shows technical refinement to his game. Coordinated and looks to have good ball skills for the position. Extremely physical and strong as a tackler and run defender. Embraces contact and plays with an edge. Was a top performer at The Opening Finals prior to his junior season, showing anticipation and ball skills in picking off a number of passes while lined up as a safety. Played subpar competition at a small private school prior to transferring to a powerhouse public school as a senior. Turned in a strong senior season at Phenix City Central with 52 tackles and three interceptions. A high-floor prospect. Has not shown high-end long speed to this point, but runs fairly well. Could also play safety long-term, despite being considered as a cornerback prospect to this juncture.
Reminds Us Of
