RESUME:

• 2 year starter
• 5th highest interceptions in Pac-12 (8)

REPORT:

PASSING

+ Better than average arm strength with a range of roughly 60 yards
+ Efficient short yardage thrower
+ Deceptively good deep thrower who is capable of finding and exploiting lax cover over the top
+ Experiments with ball placements on throws, high potential thrower
+ Clean releases keep those spirals tight and passes catchable
– Experimental throws can cause unnecessary blunders when dealing with medium range tosses
– Sideline accuracy is weak, usually hitting his targets low or behind
– Weak throwing mechanics and footwork will see him stumbling around or getting caught off the backfoot
– Could not sell the play action to a gullible blind man

MENTAL

+ Sound decision making keeps his offense going
+ Patient player with the wits and mind to be slow and methodical on the drive
+ Competent sense of cover schemes and finding the holes in the defense
+ Has recognized tells before the snap with some consistency
+ Capable of anticipating openings and breaks in the route, putting the ball where the route will be open in the near future
+ Disciplined player who keeps his head up and eyes down field even when pressured
– Pocket presence as a whole is nothing special, does not show a great feel for pressure
– Only a half field passer, struggles to scan the entire field on passing plays
– Lacks the experience you would like to see as he is only a two-year starter
– Does not seem to recongnize where blitzes are coming from, often getting his shaken or hit
– Struggles with levels as he goes through progressions, specifically crashing safeties
– Absolutely atrocious at improvising

PHYSICAL

+ No durability problems
+ Excellent size standing at 6’6 and weighing 230 lbs
– Little to no mobility compared to others
– Does not have the fluidity within the pocket others possess, stands as a statue resulting in easier pressures from the DLine
– Slow
– Rigid movement and agility will not see him shaking sacks often
– Do not expect him to pick up yardage
– Does not display any level of notable strength or power in the field of play
