He has exceptional play recognition. Well coached player who understands his responsibilities. Really sticks his foot in the ground and commits to filling his gap. Sound tackler who when he hits, you stay hit. Good instincts for where the ball is headed. Will need to work on his long speed, because while he is not slow, he is not a speed demon at the position. As he fills out and gets bigger, will need to maintain flexibility. You can see the potential for him weighing 250 and getting a little tight if he doesn't concentrate on it.
This kid is a top flight Mike prospect who has the movement skills, recognition skills and toughness to excel immediately. Big get.
