Player Summary:

A multi-year starter and consistent role player who is a one year starter at Miami after spending the previous four seasons at Oklahoma where he had significant starting time. An undersized and solid built corner that has solid AA, quick feet, twitchy hips and solid football IQ.

Displays IQ pre-snap with adjustments and disguises post snap to adjust to offensive motions and plays as they develop. Quick reaction to development using his eyes and IQ to quickly read r/p as well as determining the route concepts. Good in man coverage as he is able to match receiver routes using quick hips and solid short area burst to get into phase and stay in phase as the play develops. Has the speed and awareness to play in zone coverages. Solid eye discipline and ball skills to make plays at the POA.

Has inconsistent footwork in zone drop backs and at the line. Adequate downhill transitions, plants his feet before transitioning to downhill running. Questionable play strength and body balance, loses his footing when there is too much bumping while in phase and trips or loses leverage.

Scheme Fit:

Has the ability to play in man and zone defenses while showing a higher ability to play man including press man.

Power Statement:

An undersized corner who has the ability to play at the next level can use his AA, IQ, ability to play man and zone to play a rotational role as an outside corner or have a greater role as a nickel corner as he works on his footwork and adds some mass.
