Buffalo · LB · Gr · 2027 Draft · Lakeland, FL · Lakeland Senior

6-1 · 235 lbs

Long Shot

Floor 4.1 · Ceiling 4.3

#3157 overall · #381 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

The roster's biggest over-grade: 73 tackles with 3 TFL and a sack in ten starts at Cornell — Ivy League, non-scholarship — and zero FBS snaps. He projects to start at middle linebacker, but starting is not draft stock, and Phil Steele did not include him among the six Bulls he honored.

Ceiling · 4.3

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · MAC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.1

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.1.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Cornell → Buffalo
