Scouting Verdict

Rice's returning leading tackler (40 in 2025) and the projected VIPER1 in a hybrid linebacker/safety role. JUCO route (Saddleback) means one year of FBS tape, but the role is real.

Ceiling · 4.9

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.5) · AAC draft-temper.

Floor · 3.6

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Saddleback College → Rice
