Scouting Verdict

Veteran WKU transfer who rotated in 2025 (25 tackles, 1 sack in 9 games) after solid G5 production. Experienced depth lineman; no splash, no draft buzz.

Ceiling · 4.7

2026 rotation (DL2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.1) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.1

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.5.
