Scouting Verdict

Sun Belt coaches' preseason second-team linebacker and Athlon second team, and the leading returning tackler after 87 stops in 2025 (second on the team) — the defensive constant on a unit that lost ten of its twelve All-Sun Belt honorees.

Ceiling · 5.7

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

Floor · 5.4

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.2.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Elon Phoenix → Georgia Southern
