Scouting Notes
2025 Buck Buchanan Award winner as the FCS Defensive Player of the Year at Mercer — 20 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, 22 QB hits. First-team preseason All-MAC on BOTH Athlon and Phil Steele. The most decorated player on the roster; his production came at the FCS level, which is why he sits at a Day 3 projection rather than higher.
