Scouting Verdict

Productive FCS-level safety (60 tackles, 3 INTs in 13 games at Illinois State in 2025) stepping up two levels to the ACC. Projected starter on production, but the jump in competition is large; promising ball production, unproven against P4.

Ceiling · 6.2

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; real room to grow (+1.0) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.3

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.9.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
