Scouting Report
Elite single-high safety who consistently finds the football and makes plays from center field better than any safety in this class. Former 3-star recruit from Archbishop Spalding High School who emerged as a standout after taking over the starting role in 2024. Posted career-best 83.8 PFF coverage grade while cutting his missed tackle rate nearly in half from 17% to 9%. Shows excellent size and natural athletic ability with the range and speed to play free safety at the next level. Physical hitter with enough strength to drop into the box when needed. Known for elite ball skills and positional versatility with ability to close in space. Demonstrated major progress correcting his overpursuit issues from previous season. Has real range to make plays and flows around the back end of the defense effectively.
Strengths
Always around the football with elite instincts in both run and pass
Single-high ability paired with elite range to cover tons of ground as center fielder
Locates the ball in run game and triggers downhill with intent to make big hits
Natural athleticism to mirror quarterbacks and break on throws makes him dangerous on sideline throws
Long arms make for good PBUs and wrap-up tackles
Good ball skills from his high school receiver days
Quick downhill trigger from reaction time to acceleration
Weaknesses
Tackling technique when wrapping up can result in falling around ankles instead of driving through contact
Aggression to trigger downhill on play fakes makes him susceptible to double moves or deep shots over the top with play-action
Needs to play more physically against tight ends in man coverage
Slender build for the safety position lacks hit power
Needs to get stronger to take and dish out contact against bigger bodies
Can take poor angles in pursuit when getting too aggressive flowing to the football
