Three year starter, Ankeny, IA. First team All-Big 10 in 2022. High motor player with excellent football IQ. Has experience in a variety of zone coverage including deep outside third and quarters. Was effective in different techniques including off, press, and press and bail in both man and zone. Shows a smooth pedal into a lateral run to maintain cushion and pace with the receiver. Easily transitions to turn and run or close a void in overlapping zones. Has a feel for the throwing lane and positions against multiple routes. Creates problems for quarterbacks read with his spacing and quick break with the ball in the air. Has been productive getting his hands on balls and has a knack for extending to the catch point. As a man defender has eye discipline keeping his focus on the receiver and locating the ball in phase. In man coverage often used a reactive press technique and could also jam an outside release. Rarely gives up leverage. Decent speed to cover vertical routes. Active in run support he can stack and shed a stalk block and out run a block on the perimeter. Fundamentally sound tackling skill he normally drives through tackles. His lateral agility is average and he can get drift off route breaks versus shifty receivers. As a man defender he is inconsistent staying connected as routes lengthen. Some vulnerability to double moves. Had some trouble missing tackles in space. Has special team skills including as a returner. His best fit is special team ace and third or fourth corner in a zone heavy scheme.
