Bilhal Kone

Transfer from Indiana State. Very good frame with excellent height, long arms, and a significant wingspan Lacks some desired mass. Good ball skills and competes at the catch point – high points the ball effectively. Has the hips and fluidity to excel in press coverage. Displays the ability to stay in-phase with quicker WRs down the field. Stays patient in his backpedal and does not jump the pass until the receiver’s eyes lead him to the ball. Smart with very good instincts and vision. Decent ball production but leaving you wanting more – two INTs and 17 passes defensed over the last two seasons in Kalamazoo. Physical, willing, and productive in run support. Quality open field tackler.
