Scouting Verdict

Reigning FIRST-TEAM All-Big Sky at Sacramento State — 5 INT, 2 fumble recoveries, a forced fumble. Steps straight in as Rice's FS1 on a defense that finished 4th-fewest takeaways in the FBS. Graded with an FCS-to-AAC step-up temper.

Ceiling · 5.8

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · AAC draft-temper.

Floor · 5.2

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.4.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Sacramento State → Rice
