Official Bio

 		Strengths:
Great athleticism...Solid instincts and awareness...Plays a lot faster than he times and has a burst to close...Has fantastic range..Reliable tackler who will deliver the big hit...Strong and plays bigger than he is...Good hands and ball skills...Fluid and does an excellent job in coverage....Still improving and he may have some upside.

Weaknesses:
Extremely undersized and doesn't have the height or bulk that you look for..Timed speed is merely average...Has a difficult time taking on and shedding blockers...Is not stout at the point...Can be overly aggressive at times...Does not have a lot of experience...Isn't a fit for every scheme..Has some health and durability concerns.

Notes:
Could also project to safety at the pro level...Entered college as a defensive back but moved to linebacker prior to the '05 season...A one-year starter who blew up as a senior after not even being on the prospect radar prior to 2007...Will need to land with a team that emphasizes speed and athleticism over size but there is no question that he's a ascending talent..Looks like a prototypical weakside 'backer.
