He got kicked out of UK game because he took his helmet off to celebrate with the fans after he got a pick 6 and then pushed Logan Stenberg back after he was celebrating with a teammate.

Dude has the highest pass defense rating per PFF than any college LB since 2017. He's big, fast, and brings to wood.

Yeah, who cares if he hits his QB in non contact drills?  Who cares if he breaks the QB's face, even? Who cares if he gets himself suspended?  Who cares if he takes dumb personal fouls and gets himself ejected?  He can cover...at least when he's not suspended or banished to the locker room.  He's liable to give the offense a cheap first down by celebrating excessively if he makes the stop, but hey, he can cover.

I can overlook one or two isolated incidents, but the kid has had problem after problem and his defenders seem to think he's always a victim.  When you cause that much trouble, it's because you're the problem, not because you're just unlucky.
