Scouting Notes
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.
