Scouting Verdict

DQ Forkpa is a Fr LB and a 4-star recruit (#279 nationally) who has not yet taken a college snap. Capped as unproven youth — the pedigree is real but the projection is all ceiling until it shows up on the field.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.6) · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.9

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.7.
