6'2 200lbs 4-star LB out of Manassas VA, goes to 6A school Stonewall Jackson (same school as 4-star DT Tyleik Williams)
Has prototype Mike LB frame, very good speed & great feet. Is an explosive athlete that does a great job shooting the gap & blowing up plays the backfield. Diagnosis with high football IQ, weaves through traffic effortlessly in between lineman & is constantly active around the ball. Can drop back in coverage & has good hips to change direction & cover while in Zone. Is a textbook tackler, sinking his hips, identifying the target, keeps his head up & tackles through the ball carrier. Is a very good Blitzer at Mike LB & has advanced rush skills getting after the QB.
Is a high ranked 4-star with a 96 rating on 247 & 5-star on Rivals, the current #1 LB in the 22 class. Reminds me of another VA LB Teradja Mitchell from the 2018 class who signed with Oh St.
Holds offers from Clemson, LSU, Bama, Oh St, Penn St, Oklahoma, UGA, Auburn, Texas, TAMU, USC, UVA, Va Tech, Tenn, Oregon, UNC, UF, FSU, Ole Miss, AZ St, Michigan, South Carolina, Pitt, NC St, Nebraska, Kentucky, Maryland, Arkansas & GTech.
