Scouting Verdict

Athlon preseason third-team All-Mountain West kicker; 15 of 17 on field goals at UT Martin in 2025. Real accuracy, but the position caps the draft-outcome projection.

Ceiling · 5.3

Projected 2026 starter (K1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Mountain West draft-temper · specialist (low draft value).

Floor · 5.0

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

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Bethune-Cookman → UT Martin → UTEP
