How tall is he? Motor wise he's Goggins, form wise he may be Anthony Perkins/Bud Tribbey mold but with a higher ceiling due to size.

What I like: motor, deceptive closing speed, finishes tackles, upper body size
Needs to work on: pad level is too high, needs to disengage blockers quicker and more violently, lower body size

Good news is all the needs to work on catagories are very coachable. The tendencies he has are pretty common with a player that can get by with physical superiority. He's effective now as a raw (16 year old) prospect but I like his potential especially when he learns to be a technician.

Somehing to keep in mind when watching NE talent vs tx, fla, etc is that most players from NE are 2+ years younger than the football factory southern schools. Kids start school asap and don't get held back years to be bigger for frosh tryouts etc. Also goes a bit to the level of competition aarguekent when you realize you're watching 16 and 17 year olds in the Northeast and 18, 19, and even 20 year olds playing football in the power states.
