And his stats don't suck, free safeties don't always rack up big tackle #s, especially in VT's defense. He showed a lot of discipline & was rarely caught out of position, especially on long balls. NO he's not the second coming of ST, but who is?
He never complained about his playing time for 3 years & was willing to move to free safety as a senior. The coaching staff said he's such a good athlete that they were confident they could move him into the position & start him w/no game experience. Total team player, would be a great late round pickup as he'll get better quickly. I could see him as a nickel for us & back up at free safety.

except his stats really do suck
FS generally DO rack up tackles, and 15 solo tackles is next to nothing. most starters have at least 60, and some have up to 100 solo tackles. He really didn't have much leverage in complaining either cause his production wouldn't have won him any points.
might be worth camp scrub status if undrafted, but with his measureables, he should have been much more productive.
