Scouting Verdict

Pedigree has not become production: 17 tackles and one pass breakup at Northwestern in 2025, a fourth school in four years, and omitted from all four Athlon teams on a roster that landed 19 selections. Disciplined down.

Ceiling · 4.5

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · MAC draft-temper.

Floor · 3.4

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.
