Scouting Verdict

Productive returning DL (via Indiana State) — 25 tk, 2.5 sacks, 0 INT (2025). Grade benchmarked to a Conference USA draft-outcome projection, earned rather than inflated.

Ceiling · 4.4

2026 rotation (DL2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.2) · up-year team · Conference USA draft-temper.

Floor · 3.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −0.6.
