Potter can be seen in his 2019 highlight's using great ball carrier vision and excellent burst to pull away from defenders. He is a very tough football player and has recently been flying around as a hard hitting linebacker recruit. Potter has outstanding lateral movement and could project at many positions on both sides of the football, as well as Special Teams.
