Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 86.12 (Long-term starter)
Pro Comparison: Brian Burns
Strengths:
Great bend at the waist and top-end speed. Eager to learn and improve. Gets up to speed quickly. Plays to the whistle. Keys on the football at the high side of his rush.
Weaknesses:
Has only played football for five years. Liability in run defense. Suffered torn Achilles at pro day in March. Do not trust him to mirror a route out of the backfield. Thin lower body. Would like to see him show an ability to win with power. Needs to develop more counter moves.
Accolades:
- 2021: All-Big Ten first team
- 2021: Most forced fumbles (five) and second-most sacks (11.0) in Big Ten
