Strengths

• Shows a burst to close. Flashes explosive hitting ability and good lateral and downfield pursuit.
• Closes quickly on relatively immobile quarterbacks. A consistently heavy hitter who flashes explosiveness and the ability to separate the ball.
• Good closing speed with long arms to drag down quarterbacks and running backs.
• Keeps feet moving after initial contact. Jumps inside as a counter to typical rush, but needs to show a larger variety of moves.
• Ferocious against the run and very good in coverage, is extremely versatile. Despite his build, he holds up well in traffic and makes a lot of plays by engaging a block, shedding, and pursuing.

Weaknesses

• Possesses average instincts. More likely to make plays with quick reactions than by diagnosing.
• Hits up high and misses more tackles than he should.
• Does not blow up targets. Many inside tackles are catch-and-drags, which will be more difficult to make at the next level.
• Locates the ball but takes circuitous routes to go get to it. Should use power and long arms to take on and disengage from blocks. Inefficient with his angles.
• Generally an effective openfield tackler but doesn't wrap up consistently. Shows only average awareness in coverage.
