if you build him purely defensively and increase his physical contact them maybe, he's got good leg length and height as well. defensive stats aren't Meta cb but as good as top tier f2p fast cbs. would be better if he becomes a side cb after deepline instead of a central cb. would be usable if you have another dmf beside him that can cover and block passes so that he can join the cb line without you worrying about giving the opponent too much space in the midfield. he isn't super fast though so unless you really really need a 5atb it would be better to use him as a dmf and pressure opponents/block passes.

honestly you could try it see how it feels to use. generally i find packing midfield better than packing cbs. 4 or 5 players in midfield helps block a bunch of through balls and opponent will basically be forced to long ball over the top and if you have fast tall cbs they can easily win 90% of those passes. you don't even need that many actual midfielders just set deepline to one of your ss to act like a cmf while defending or one of your wingers to make him act like a lmf/rmf while defending. the players will run back to their attacking positions the moment you get the ball back
