of the few players in the class who stepped in and played immediately…He
adds depth to the secondary for position coach Travis Oliver and he is
excellent on special teams…Played significant minutes as a freshman because
of lack of depth in the secondary, but his experience should pay dividends

tackles in the open field and his willingness to make plays around the line
of scrimmage…He has improved his cover skills since entering N.C. A&T and
