Smooth, instinctive corner who shows advanced coverage skills. Measured at over 5-foot-11 and around 175 pounds prior to his senior season. Registers as a good athlete in the combine setting. Also runs track, posting bests in the sub-11.2 second range in the 100 meters. Smooth and technically refined. Has quick feet and a developed backpedal. Flips his hips with ease. A coordinated mover overall. Carries that relatively advanced technique over to the field, where he is smooth and instinctive in coverage. Reads receivers and effectively mirrors. Plays fast and sees things quickly. Understands route concepts. Makes high effort plays in pursuit that saved multiple touchdowns as a junior. Recorded 1 interception and 4 pass breakups as junior. Physical and doesn’t hesitate to lower his shoulder. Lacks length for the position, which can play a role in his effectiveness and ball production in coverage along with tackling.
