Obviously he's got all the ability to be a great one and you love seeing his ability to make big hits.
When I see the plays where he plays with good fundamentals, the sweatpants get strained.
One concern I see in his video if I'm nitpicking is that sometimes with his desire to get big hits and plays, he can get sloppy in his technique (which can lead to missed tackles and big plays at the PAC level), some personal fouls for some of his hitting away from the play, and potentially some targeting penalties leading to ejections. I expect that he'll be asked to clean this up before seeing too much of the field. Given our depth in the secondary, it would not shock me if he was a redshirt if he came to UW.
I think he may be a safety especially if we grab Long or Murphy. His strides are long and not short with quick change of direction. I would love him at safety. Good hitter. He could replace Kevin King fine as well

If we put him at safety then he needs to redshirt and add at least 20 lbs (he's at 175 now), maybe even more. But if he thinks he'd be better at corner (ala Kevin King), he might slack off doing that like King did. As long as the Jimmy Lake decides what position he'll play early on, he'll be fucking great.

I don't know what we're looking for specifically all the time at CB, but he appears to be our prototype for corner. I agree that he would play the LAN position with gusto, though.
Honestly, I think he gets here next year, backs up LAN and then takes over that 'starting' role when LAN leaves.
I'm dooging so hard thinking about a DB class of Long, Love, Rapp and Gilchrist.

Also, the senior film is a big step forward. He's gotten stronger, faster, quicker and meaner.
One of the best senior tapes I've seen from a CB.
...in one of the best leagues in the country.
That is a fucking epic film.
