Scouting Verdict

Unproven redshirt freshman DL; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (DL3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.2) · AAC draft-temper.

Floor · 0.8

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.0.
