Athletic DB from Atlantic in Delray that’s still under the radar. 6’0 170 that packs a punch even for being his size. Decent frame and good athleticism for either CB or S. Has decent hands and has a nose for the football. Obviously strength is a concern for these smaller guys and I would like to see him become a better tackler. Plan B guy at safety, one of 2 watches for the night.

I have to honest...I love his coverage ability, but I'm just not seeing enough pop/explosiveness in this kid. I was hoping to see him explode during his INT returns but the next gear never showed to me. If we can't get the 4 star 'true' CB/S prospect then I'd rather take the 3* ATH with that pop in him and groom him to be a CB/S. You can teach technique/coverage skills, you can't teach pop/explosiveness.
