What’s To Like

Very reliable guy you can expect to be on the field… Important contributor to both 2016 and 2018 National Title teams… Lunch pail type of guy who isn’t flashy but just works hard and does his job… Versatile LB who can play anywhere behind the line and on the edges when called upon… Understands his job in zone coverage… Gets around second-level blockers well… Very good tackler when he can get squared up… Plays well in big moments.
