Overview

Highly regarded high school recruit that had a good career in Coral Gables. Played defensive tackle and end during his career (until his senior year when he played just end).

Strengths

Quick off the ball. Reads plays well. Plays hard. Takes the edge away with his pass rush. For 6'4, 280 pounds is athletic. Smart player.

Weaknesses

Although he plays hard, it's not on every snap. Because of his on some, off some style of play, gets double teamed easily and cannot break free.

Projection

His draft stock may have dropped during his senior season. SHOULD have been an early first day guy but now could be a later pick. Round 4.

Can become a 3-4 DE. Isn't big enough for the pure 4-3 DT and isn't fast enough for the 4-3 DE spot. But is okay for the 3-4 DE spot. Has the strength of a DT but he is in a 285lbs. DE body, long and lean. Could a situational run stuffing DE in a conventional 4-3 scheme. Has decent speed and quickness of the edge but not enough to be effective in the NFL. Though he is a try-hard player with a very good motor. He does have excellent power of the edge though. Could be an Anthony Weaver type, or a Justin Smith. Will stuff the run on the strong side and he won't get pushed around. Could be a late round steal.
