Three-year starter who lined up at defensive end and linebacker. Senior totals were 82/6/3 after 40 tackles as a junior.

Pos:

Hard-hitting linebacker who is best in the box. Reads the action, stays with assignments and collapses from the outside defending the run. Scrapes well laterally and wraps up ball carriers.

Neg:

More of a chase-and-rundown linebacker as opposed to a defender who forces the action. Marginal skills in coverage.
