Player Summary:

RS Junior, Starting at Edge at ALTR playing with high intensity with great effort as he flies all around the field. Primarily used as a stand up edge, playing very wide off the tackle, giving him an advantage to use his exceptional AA to turn the corner. Plays best as a pass rusher. Very athletic build, with slim shins, thick calves, skinny knees, thick thighs, narrowed hips, and a V shaped torso and broad shoulders. Long with good muscle build to him. Exceptional AA due to good explosion, very good bend and flexibility, as well as ankle flex, and hip flex, resulting in efficient rushes. Best as a pass rusher coming off the edge due to solid explosion, good acceleration as he approaches the blocker, playing with very good strength, balance, and leverage to cause a mismatch on slower OL, as he shows good twitch as well making it tough to match his feet. Solid ability to counter blocks and use good agility to maneuver. Dangerous as a speed and power rusher due to good play speed and play strength. Good UOH as a pass rusher as he knows how to finish through the rush and come clean off blocks. Good vs the run, displaying very good competitive toughness and strength with a high motor to find a way to get his helmet in on every play. Flies all over the field with great pursuit and effort to not give up on any play. Good setting the edge as he uses good UOH with a strong punch and good leverage to stand his ground on the outside. Good tackling ability as he runs into ball carriers violently taking anyone out in his path.
