Scouting Verdict

The prime candidate to become Rice's premier pass rusher with all four of 2025's 2.5+-sack producers gone. Career-best 2025 (28 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 1 FF) as the RUSH1 — real opportunity, modest production so far.

Ceiling · 5.0

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · AAC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.4

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