Scouting Verdict

Unproven sophomore LB; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 4.4

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+2.2) · AAC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 0.9

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.3.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
