Scouting Verdict

Rotation LB (College of San Mateo transfer) with some college production (8 tk (2024)); a depth contributor with room to grow.

Ceiling · 2.9

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.0) · Mountain West draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.4

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −0.5.
