THE GOOD
-Great size with well-proportioned frame for the position; thick, powerful build top to bottom
-Intense player who plays with a relentless motor that burns hot; shows great effort time and time again
-Tackling machine; always around the football, making plays sideline to sideline
-Consistent performer year after year
-Good length that allows him to make plays as a tackler outside of his frame in space
-Comfort spot-dropping in zone coverage with good eyes and feel for space
-Quick processor with good eyes to sift through traffic and find the football
-Effective blitzer that can shoot gaps and make plays; flashes a nice rip-through to get after QB
THE BAD
-Not as physical taking on blocks and dishing out hits as tackler with his size
-Slow to disengage off of blocks against the run; doesn’t use hands well to stay clean and stack/shed
-Tight hips and clunky footwork in man coverage on underneath routes
-Finds himself around the football a lot but misses tackles often with poor technique
-Tends to play with a high pad level and can get caught with eyes in the backfield, allowing blockers to reach second-level
-Lacks some play strength despite size; can get overwhelmed in run game
BIO
-Played in 47 career games at Oklahoma, starting 37
-Finished Sooners’ career with 376 tackles, 40 tackles for loss 8.
