| Scouting Report | Potential |
| I feel pretty certain that he will develop good blitzing skills with just a little more work. From what he's shown so far, he should end up having good speed for a linebacker. As it comes to the surface, his no holds barred, aggressive style of play could push him to an elite level. This kid is too hesitant to let his instincts take over and I think that will cause big problems down the road. |
