247Sports Scouting Report via National Analyst Greg Biggins: Really flashed on tape showing rare combination of quickness and power. Had a chance to see him multiple times this off-season and he’s a well built 6-2, 255 pounds with close to an 80″ wingspan. He’s a naturally strong kid with a quick first step and can beat an opposing lineman right off the snap. Can bully and rag doll tackles and guards at the HS level and lives in the backfield. Plays inside and outside but we like as an interior defensive lineman at the college level. Can win at the line right now with raw physical gifts but will need to develop some counters and continue to refine technique to really take his game to another level. Has a high ceiling and it’s easy to see why he’s been a national recruit since he was just a freshman.
