Notes: From Jackson, MI. Played in 9 games, including 3 starts, with 11 tackles and 1 PBU in 2015; missed the final two games of the season with a broken foot. Recorded 30 tackles and 2 PBU in 11 games, including 1 start, in 2016. Started all 13 games at boundary safety, recording 71 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 4 sacks, 3 PBU, 2 INT (returned for 20 yards) and 1 FF in 2017.
Positives: Leader-type in the defensive back room. Well respected by teammates. Well-built, strong, tough and physical. Understands the scheme and generally plays within it. Above-average cover ability. Solid on run support and a good open-field tackler. Should do well on special teams.
Negatives: A little stiff in the hips with some limitations on pass defense. No truly outstanding characteristic.
Summary: Decent all-around prospect who can make a team and contribute.
