Washington | HT: 6004 | WT: 236 | 40 time: 4.56 | Arm: 3278 | Hand: 0914 | Wing: 7958
Four-year starter. First-team All-Pac 12 and third-team AP All-America in 2023. Played six years at Washington including a medical redshirt. Physical build with a strong upper body and plus wingspan. Walked on at Washington in 2018 and overcame injuries that cost him most of the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Played a traditional Mike linebacker but moved all over the front based on formations. Plays downhill from tackle to tackle with solid punch to separate from blocks. Generally fits inside gaps and can make plays inline. Has a tight scrape off tackle and makes plays close to the line. Solid wrap and drive tackling skill he can make big hits and run through tackles to finish. Has occasionally lined up on the edge and been used to blitz. Can chase from that alignment. Decent zone defender he can flip his hips to run the seam and gets depth spot dropping with vision to see threats and the quarterback. Has been effective covering the flat from a wider alignment. Instincts in the run game are average and there is some hesitation with key diagnose. Takes wasted steps at times coming downhill instead of taking an L path to the ball. Gets caught in the wash as a result. Lacks ideal agility and can stall at times changing directions. Climbing blockers can get to him and drive him out. Lacks a great power base to hold up at the point against physical interior linemen. Segmented movement scraping at times prevents him from getting a clean shot at tackle in the alley. Has been productive tackling and making plays inline and in pursuit. Has special team skill and can make a team as a backup and special team player.
2023 Stats: 94 T, 8 TFL, 3 sacks, 3 PBU, 1 FF, 1 INT (1 TD). OSR:5/37. Draft projection: 5th-7th round
