9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
