6'2 225lbs (future 3/4-star LB) out of Jacksonville, goes to 8A Oakleaf.
Was originally at Lee HS, then transferred to Oakleaf.
Had a good Sophomore season with 52tcks 9PBU's 7TFL's 2sacks & 2INT's.
Versatile backer that plays both OLB & Mike LB. Is terrific in drop back coverage, has good active feet & natural instinctual diagnosis ability. At Mike LB plays with very good gap integrity weaving through traffic & getting to the ball carrier. Is a smart football player who reads & reacts well, has good natural fluid movement as a runner with change of direction. Is a good tackler, square his shoulders, sinks his hips & keeps his head before striking at his target, also can wrap up while bringing pressure off the edge. Has a good sized physical frame that can get into the 230+ range while maintaining explosion.
Played on that Lee Defense with 22 ELITE 5-star CB Jaheim Singletary, but will be playing at Oakleak which is a plus for us given our success with Shaq Quarterman & landing Chantz Williams & Jalen Rivers last class.
Holds offers from UF, FSU, Ole Miss & GTech.
