Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 80.32 (Long-term starter)
Pro Comparison: Ifeatu Melifonwu
Strengths:
Monstrously tall, linear player with high-caliber explosiveness. Build-up speed is tremendous and works best when attacking downhill. Ball awareness is solid. Not a major pass disruptor -- even with his immense length -- but not many completions when he's in tight. Best in zone where his length and speed can be accentuated. Big-time leaping ability. I'd love to see him move to safety where he could watch the QB then strike on the football.
Weaknesses:
Looked out of position at cornerback, especially when having to stay with even decently sudden wide receivers. Heavier feet than what you want in a modern-day outside corner.
Accolades:
- 2021: Honorable mention All-Conference USA
- 2021: Led UTSA with career-high five passes defended
