Scouting Verdict

A proven, ball-hawking transfer corner with a real resume — First-Team All-AAC at North Texas in 2024 (4 INTs) and the projected starting RCB. The 2025 transition to ACC speed was uneven (29 tackles, 6 PD), which is the honest cap on the grade, but the takeaway production is legit.

Ceiling · 5.6

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.4) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.8

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