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 · 4.5

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

Floor · 4.0

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