Scouting Verdict

FCS transfer (Norfolk State) with a small 2025 sample (12 tackles, 3 games) sliding into a backup/special-teams role. Useful depth for a thin room.

Ceiling · 3.6

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.2) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 3.0

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.4.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Norfolk State → NC State
