Scouting Report:
"Box safety who was asked to play a more diverse safety spot for the Irish, but who lacks the instincts and athleticism to play in space on the next level. His size should get him a look, but he needs to improve his consistency as a tackler and show that he has cover value on kickoffs to help him make a roster." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
