Film shows him primarily as a RB, but it appears UW will use him as a linebacker. He also seems to be an ok punter. Shows a decent burst off the line, and he definitely can leap. Looked tough, and finished his runs well. I wouldn't say he has that extra gear to pull away, but as a linebacker that is not always necessary. Definitely will be an athletic LB, but will still probably need to add weight to play the position. This is all my take (I'm far from a professional scout), but he seems like a solid prospect. Hopefully wadc will be able to add a little more on him. Personally I thought the staff might go with Klein in this spot, but only time will tell (Word is that we are taking two LB's)

His entire film showcases him on offense. I can't really much of an independent opinion as a result, other than he doesn't look like he has the frame to be a linebacker, his first step is pretty good, good agility, but he really isn't fast for a major college prospect of his size. I'm not declaring him a legacy offer, but it does conjure up thoughts (maybe irrational ones) of Zach Davison.
I asked if anybody has any opinion on him at BP, so hopefully I'll have a first-hand report to copy here.

If he's 6' and 213 now, I don't see size being a problem at LB a few years down the road.
