Her's some good info on him courtesy of nflfans.com.
Pros: The pure definition of “Over achiever.” Big hitter with a non stop motor. A very good tackler who always looks to be around the ball. Great football IQ.

Cons: A little small for a linebacker and a little slow for a Safety, gets by on strength, and pure will power rather then athleticism. Not great cover skills.
Draft Exchange Analysis:

LONG SHUTTLE:11.16

Linebacker turned safety, still plays with a linebacker mentality, is “Football smart” and has a knack for being near the ball. Constantly compared to the Rams Adam Archuleta. Has accepted an Invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine where he could impress enough to be an early day 2 prospect. A few years of good coaching and he could develop into a fine NFL Player.



FROM HIS TEAM WEB PAGES:

OUTLOOK: After back-to-back 100+ tackle seasons, he is listed among the nation’s top linebackers heading into his senior season. A second-team All-SEC selection last season, he will be a prime candidate for more honors in 2003. He has already been named preseason first-team All-SEC by five preseason publications. Lindy’s ranks him as the No. 10 linebacker in the nation while The Sporting News rates him as No. 19. A starter at wolf (outside) linebacker in the past two seasons, he will spend time at both outside linebacker and free safety in the preseason. The Hogs’ active career tackle leader (282) missed a majority of spring practice while recovering from surgery for both a separated shoulder and a hernia. Whether at wolf linebacker or free safety, he will be an instrumental part of the Razorbacks’ defensive game plan.
 
I like him although I saw him pick up some stupid personal fould penalties that contributed to them losing a game this year.(He should fit right in LOL)
