Scouting Verdict

Rotational DL (via New Mexico State) with some college production (1 tk, 0 sacks, 0 INT (2024)).

Ceiling · 2.7

2026 rotation (DL2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Mountain West draft-temper.

Floor · 1.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.0.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
