Scouting Report

July 30, 2026

Jared Badie #31

Ball State · EDGE · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Aurora, Ill. · Oswego East High School

6-3 · 237 lbs

4.4

UDFA

Floor 4.0 · Ceiling 4.6

#2712 overall · #285 EDGE of 15096

Scouting Verdict

Nudge only. The head coach publicly called him an All-MAC candidate, but his actual 2025 line at San Diego State was 9 tackles and half a sack — coach-speak, not production. In-season watch.

Ceiling · 4.6

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · MAC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.0

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.4.

Pedigree

3★ recruit · Natl #664 · Pos #64 · State #13

Path: Illinois → San Diego State → Ball State
