Scouting Verdict

Rotational DL (via Iowa State) with some college production (3 tk, 0 sacks, 0 INT (2025)).

Career reserve (DL3) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Mountain West draft-temper.

Floor · 1.7

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.2.
