Scouting Verdict

Regarded as one of the top junior-college safeties in the country after an all-league season at Copiah-Lincoln; the ball production and pedigree are promising, with the projection developmental until there's FBS tape.

Ceiling · 5.6

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.5) · Sun Belt draft-temper.

Floor · 4.2

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.9.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Copiah-Lincoln CC → Troy
