The 6-foot-4 Fort Myers native is ranked as the No. 12 defensive lineman per On3 and is a naturally powerful player. With his size, he can stop the run with ease by overpowering smaller linemen. This will also add to the growing and developing defensive line that has a lot of potential in Coral Gables.
