Sideline-to-sideline linebacker who plays every down like the tape is personal — 106 tackles, 5 sacks, 5 pass breakups and his first career interception in an All-American 2025, stacked on an 80-tackle, 5-sack freshman year. He's a three-down player already: thumps between the tackles, closes to the perimeter, and has enough juice as a blitzer to be schemed onto quarterbacks. The 5-star pedigree (No. 19 nationally) has translated exactly as billed, multiple 2027 mocks slot him in Round 1, and his own position coach says it out loud. However, the takeaway column is light for the billing — one interception and one forced fumble across 25 games. Elite NFL linebackers change games with the ball, not just tackle counts, and that is the layer his junior tape needs to add. Day 2 grade here, with the Round 1 case fully live if the splash plays arrive in 2026.
