Scouting Verdict

A young starting linebacker (R-So, WSU transfer) who produced in his first Wake year (45 tackles). Ascending, with runway.

Ceiling · 7.0

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+2.8) · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 3.4

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