The best player on the roster and the Mountain West's premier defensive prospect: 87 tackles with a league-leading 17 for loss and 6.5 sacks in 2025, then HERO Sports Group-of-Five All-America First Team, PFF All-Group-of-Six and All-Mountain West First Team. Both Phil Steele and Athlon put him on their preseason First Team, and he graded out well against an NFL-caliber Penn State offensive line. At 6-1, 248 he is undersized for the edge and no national board carries him yet, which is what keeps this a Day 2 projection rather than a first-round one.
