2022 season highlights
​Marshall thundering herd

strengths

• He is truly an athletic player and has excellent strength for a defensive back of his size.
• His above-average athleticism allows him to do many things in the secondary.
• He is physically powerful for an undersized cornerback with concrete hand usage in press coverages.
• He will stay glued to the hip of the receiver in and out of breaks and breaks up many passes. 
• Despite his height, he can compete as an outside corner.
• A cerebral who will read the quarterback's eyes to make the break on the ball for potential turnovers or deflections.
• He is a willing participant who will fly downhill to make run-support tackles on running backs.
• He is an excellent tackler who will pursue good angles from the back side to make tackles.
  

weakness

• He lacks the prototypical size for an outside NFL cornerback with his height and weight. 
• He struggles to mirror shifty receivers and is a beast on straight-line and out-cut routes but susceptible to double-move routes.
• He will struggle to change direction due to high stiff hips that disallow him to flip his hips. 
• He does not jam the receiver in press coverage, he will get beat off the snap and rely on his athletic ability to recover.
• He needs to maintain his inside technique with the receiver in man coverages.
• He will probably need to make the roster as a NFL gunner or slot corner
