Came out of high school as one of the top athletes from the state of Ohio when signing with the Buckeyes. He started at receiver before switching to safety as a freshman and spent three seasons at Ohio State before transferring to reunite with his former defensive coordinator from the Buckeyes, Greg Schiano. He's big and plays physical enough to handle himself near the line of scrimmage. His average speed and burst to close shows up in coverage since he doesn't have much anticipation. While he's not going to stand out in any one area, his size and potential to bang on tight ends should get him into a camp to compete for a role as box safety.
