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.

Ceiling · 7.0

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.6) · up-year team · Mountain West draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 5.8

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.6.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
