The Good

-Explosive movement for a man his size; underrated athletically
-Impressive power overall and converts speed to power with great success in bull rush
-Powerful lower half to hold up on interior; won’t be displaced often
-Understands lever and plays with outstanding pad level overall
-Showed a knack for shooting gaps and penetrating into backfield when asked to shoot and disrupt
-Fluid hips on stunts and twists; moves extremely well in space
-Motor runs hot consistently when on the field
-Displayed good upper body strength and torque to discard blockers
-Assignment sound player that won’t take himself out of plays

-Short, squatty frame with short arms overall for position
-Must develop hand usage more; often out of control swinging hands with no real plan
-Eats up a lot of space but is inconsistent getting off blocks to make plays
-Overall production for a five-year career severely lacking in Power 5
-On the older side for prospects at the position
-Limited snap count at Texas, never playing more than 40 snaps in a game last season
