Scouting Notes

The projected starting middle linebacker and defensive signal-caller, in to replace the team's 2025 tackle leader. Three years at Miami (43 tackles, team-best run-stop PFF grade among their LBs in 2025) make him a proven, plug-and-play run defender — a solid college starter without the splash/coverage profile that draws NFL looks.
