Raw Prospect

Floor 0.9 · Ceiling 7.0

#10229 overall · #1014 LB of 15096

Scouting Verdict

Unproven true freshman LB; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.4) · Conference USA draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 0.9

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.7.
