Scouting Notes
Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week after the near-upset at Clemson (a forced fumble and the deflection that became a pick-six), and PFF's sixth-rated Troy run defender / seventh-rated defender overall on 418 snaps. With 123-tackle All-Sun Belt first-teamer Jordan Stringer gone, he projects as a full-time starter. Athlon fourth-team preseason All-Sun Belt.
