Scouting Report/Player Notes
Former Kent State transfer has been wildly productive in his time at California (PA), and displayed solid but not great athletic ability and speed at the Combine. He made plays all over the field in his time at college, but it will be interesting to see how he takes to the NFL game. This is a guy with some upside as a special teams player and rotational ability at the safety position. He’s worth a look in the mid-late rounds.
