"Short and compact. While he lacks the ideal size and length, he makes up for it with his speed. A stand out on the track that went 10.76 in the 100-meter dash as a junior. Also qualified for states in the long jump as a sophomore. Instinctive player with a quick trigger. Takes solid angles and can navigate around blockers to make open-field tackles. Will compete on special teams and is dangerous with ball in hands. Fluid enough in the hips to play some cornerback. Can deliver a pop, but needs to get more physical, especially if he’s going to work in the box. Has to get stronger if he’s going to cover a tight end. Should develop into a starter and could carve out a role early on as a nickel for a Power 5 program."- from their Miami evaluator Andrew Ivins

They currently have him ranked the #22 safety in the country. Which means he will be a 4 Star soon even without a true bump. Most normal ranking cycles have more than 22 safeties as 4 stars.

My eval of this kid which means nothing is not only does he have elite track speed but he plays just as fast. Doesn't always work that way. I also love how instinctive he is. He makes circus INTs on the field and flys around making plays fluidly. He is small right now but when he starts to fill out he already has the mindset to deliver a pop. Good looking player. Again big time speed.
