Quick Thoughts: 

During his early recruiting I was really worried about his weight, but he’s put on some good weight and the tape from his junior to senior seasons bares that out.  

I do find it interesting that he’s one of the most polarizing players between the scouting services that Wisconsin has in this class.  For me he’s a bit of a project, but has some of the tools you like to see.  He’s not afraid to stick in on tackles and overall he plays with good foot technique.  Those two things will help him develop and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him be a major contributor down the road for the Badgers.  

He’s got that “Wisconsin player” attitude written all over him and we’ll get to see that bare out this spring as he’s an early enrollee.
