Weaknesses:
Just average speed...Isn't very explosive...Needs to get stronger...Will miss some tackles...Marginal instincts and awareness...Vulnerable to fakes and takes chances...Little experience...Maturity may be an issue.

Notes:
Brother, E.J., played football at Ohio State...Began his college career with the Buckeyes ('04-'06) but played sparingly...Wasn't living up to his obligations ( academics / missed meetings ) and when informed his scholarship wasn't going to be renewed he opted to transfer...Had a breakout campaign in 2008, which was his one and only season with the Bearcats...Has had some problems with his shoulder...Could also project to safety at the next level and did see quite a bit of action there as a senior...Definitely looks the part on paper and finally began to live up to his potential once he was given some playing time...Talented developmental prospect with a very intriguing set of triangle numbers.
