Scouting Verdict

Led all of Conference USA with 6.0 sacks in 2025 (24 tackles, 8.0 TFL, 9 hurries) and a Phil Steele preseason FIRST-TEAM All-CUSA pick. Offseason surgery cost him spring practice, which caps the confidence rather than the talent.

Ceiling · 6.3

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Conference USA draft-temper.

Floor · 5.2

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.9.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Florida International → FIU
