​SCARIEST LINEBACKER
​CLEMSON TIGERS

STRENGTHS

  • He combines athleticism, speed, strength, defensive coverage, and tackling ability and is awe-inspiring. 
  • His athleticism is off the chart, as he displays excellent range with sideline-to-sideline speed.
  • He will chase down from behind, whether it is a running back or receiver.
  • He is an impactful linebacker that rushes the passer off the edge or blitz, creating play disruption.
  • He battles through traffic while in coverage and will slip the block to support on-run support.
  • He can match up against a receiver in the slot, running back, or tight end.
  • He is an extremely high football IQ and can recognize not only the formations but the positions of all players and can modify the defense effectively.​

WEAKNESS

  • He can play EDGE at the next level, requiring him to bulk up on a muscle mass of 20 pounds.
  • He seems to wager to shed blocks, should use his hands more, and not rely on his speed and power.
  • He constantly torpedoing his body at his target; he must wrap up more with his tackling.
  • He tends to be too aggressive and will overshoot his gaps and not stick with the integrity of the defensive calls.​
Draft Projection: 1st (late)- 2nd Round
