| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Has the combination of power and speed to someday be a reliable end against the run. Give him a little more time in the weight room and he'll be one of the best tacklers in the conference. He should eventually have the type of agility that is unusual for a defensive end. He likes to hang out in the weight room and that time will pay dividends down the road. |
