#976 overall · #91 CB of 15096

Scouting Verdict

The best returning defensive back and the face of a rebuilt secondary — 78 tackles, a team-high 9 PD (6th in ACC), and the most slot-corner snaps of any ACC DB in 2025, plus All-ACC Honorable Mention. Was rehabbing injuries in spring 2026, so early availability is a watch-item; on tape he's the defense's most likely future-NFL piece.

Ceiling · 6.4

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.8) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.8

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.
