- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
- Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.
- Alert defender for zone coverage, showing good understanding of route progressions occurring behind him and a quick burst downhill to break on underneath passes in front of him.
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
Weaknesses
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
- Fails to maintain inside technique in man coverage. Not a press corner.
- Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
