- Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
- Tennison tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
- Flashes some physicality as a hitter.
- Is an explosive mover with quickness and speed. He’s at his best attacking downhill, shooting gaps in run support, and disrupting the backfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Tennison gets beat over the top too often, and Tennison tends to panic and get too handsy when running downfield.
- Rght now he’s only capable of playing in trail position, and even then he’d likely be draw a lot of flags.
- Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
