5'9/10 175lbs 3-star CB out of Tamarac, goes to 8A school Western.
Transferred briefly to AH his Sophomore year, but went back to Western his Junior year.
Had a great Junior season with 36tcks 15PBU's & 6INT's with 741 all-purpose yards (440yds PR) & 13TD's, 4 pick 6's & 9 receiving TD's.
Was in that Western secondary with Justin Hodges, Brian Blades Jr & James Williams & was arguably their best CB. Very good press man cover skills, has good footwork, natural fluidity, stays in the WR's hip pocket & has terrific ball skills. Versatile athlete with good speed & instincts.
Both he & Ja'den McBurrows are very similar type Corners, can play inside Nickel & outside Boundary.
Reminds me of Bandy.
Apparently Pitt leads with him now, but it's still very early, hasn't hit the camp circuit yet, I believe if we offered we'd have a good shot.
Holds offers from NC St, Kentucky, Pitt, Cuse & UAB.
