Scouting Verdict
2025 Mountain West co-Defensive Player of the Year and 2026 MW Preseason Defensive Player of the Year; 126 tackles / 6.5 TFL / 1.5 sacks in 12 games. Athlon preseason All-MW first team and ranked the No. 1 Mountain West prospect for the 2027 draft. Earned, not inflated — no national first-round consensus, so held under the Day-2 tier.
