Scouting Verdict

Rotational LB (via Independence (Kan.) CC) with some college production (7 tk, 0 sacks, 0 INT (2025)).

Ceiling · 2.8

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Conference USA draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 1.8

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −0.8.
