Scouting Verdict

Phil Steele Third Team preseason All-CUSA linebacker. Productive across two Jackson State seasons (49 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles in 2025); the level-of-competition jump is the open question.

Ceiling · 5.7

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

Floor · 5.3

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Jackson State → Middle Tennessee
