Strengths
- Started for four years at USC.
- Doesn't get fooled on disguised passing plays, play action fakes.
- Possesses decent speed that allows him to make up for his mistakes.
Weaknesses
- Waits far too long for plays to develop and makes the majority of his tackles down field.
- Very sloppy tackler, misses in the open field and doesn't make a strong effort to wrap up ball carrier.
- Doesn't shed blocks well and projects to be used only on passing downs as a cover linebacker at professional level.
