Franklin can find the football in a hurry and destroys most blockers in his way while pursuing. He displays a great blend of size, strength and speed that allows him to be very disruptive in the running game. He flashes elite short-area closing speed that allows him to zero in and burst onto the ball carriers. This great short-range explosion complements his sideline-to-sideline speed and acceleration. He flahes the range and overall tools to be an asset in coverage. Franklin is a tough football player who will be a productive defender and leader as a middle linebacker at Oklahoma.
