Comes in for his senior year to lead a veteran secondary. Seemed to be all over the ballfield last year with his 9 bat downs. Only 29 total tackles, this CB will have to refine his tackling a bit. Will face top flight competition this year in the SEC and with a good senior year, hear his name called on draft day.
