California | HT: 6001 | WT: 207 | 40 time: 4.72 | Arm: 3178 | Hand: 0934 | Wing: 7718
Four-year starter. Transfer from San Diego State prior to the 2023 season. First-team All-Mountain West selection in 2021. Regularly aligned as the boundary safety with a healthy mix of one-high and two-high coverages. Possesses good height and weight with a thin frame and average arm length. Quality range as a deep safety to cover ground from depth with quick processing speed. Recognizes route concepts developing in front of him and leverages his zone well. Reacts accordingly while reading the quarterback’s eyes and weaves to put himself in position. Considerable ball skills to locate the ball in the air and break it up at the catch point with his physical play style. Notable block destruction as he is aggressive when coming in contact with blockers downfield. Takes solid angles to the ball carrier and uses the sideline to finish tackles. Assertive in run support with an eagerness to make an impact. When walked down, he is aggressive when taking on blocks at the line-of-scrimmage with good pop on contact. Tight hips hinder his effectiveness to stick with receivers on quick breaks in man coverage. His lack of strength hinders his ability to jam receivers. Struggles in transition and is slow to drive on routes underneath him. Needs to find ways to slip blocks downfield as he allows linemen to take him head-on when climbing to him. Struggles to finish tackles due to fringe functional strength. Allows notable yards-after-contact when wrapping up. Marginal foot speed in pursuit and can get out-run.
2023 Stats: 90 T, 4.5 TFL, 1 sack, 8 PBU, 2 FF, 1 INT. Draft projection: 5th-7th round
