Versatile DB that can play Nickel Slot or FS.

- Read his keys wells
- Plays the Deep third shell at an advanced level
- Very good recognition reading the QB's eyes
- Fluid transitional mover flipping his hips when tracking the ball
- High Football IQ; smart player, not just an athlete
The only real knock on him is size. He's very very thin. His height isn't really a big deal because Safeties don't necessarily need to be tall. Ideally you'd prefer them to be, but it's not a prerequisite. But overall very solid pick up for the Safety room.
My Comp: Jaheem Joseph
I don't think he'll be called upon to play as a TF. He'll likely need a redshirt year of Strength/Weight gain development.4 years as a starter and team captain. With Powell headed to the NFL, I hope he's ready to contribute extensively next season. Depending on who enters the portal, we may need him.
I hope not for this seasons sake they're rolling with Jaden Harris/Markeith/Zaquan so in a year from now unless their trust/gamble failed those 3 should be back and with a year of playing time under their belt. And if Jaden Harris or Markeith didnt pan out well then that doesn't bode well for this season...I don't think he'll be called upon to play as a TF. He'll likely need a redshirt year of Strength/Weight gain development.
I would imagine they hit the Portal pretty heavy for Safeties in the Winter & Spring.
