Scouting Verdict
Rotational DB (via Purdue) with some college production (3 tk, 0 sacks, 0 INT (2025)).
Ceiling · 3.1
Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · MAC draft-temper.
Floor · 2.0
Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.9.
