Scouting Verdict

A former 4-star (No. 202) Alabama transfer with explosive traits but minimal snaps, projected as the backup JACK behind Dyson — a developmental pass-rusher with real upside and no production yet. Praised for bend in the spring without winning the job.

Ceiling · 4.9

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.7) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 3.4

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.8.
