On paper I like him better than the Warner kid out of FSU that was considered an option at LB. Haven’t watched him much at all, but the Maryland boards aren’t really excited about him moving on (like the FSU boards seemed to be about Warner) and his highlight tape pops. Maryland board also talked about him being a plus locker room presence.
