Scouting Verdict

Experienced Big Ten/ACC linebacker (Nebraska -> UNC -> FSU) with three years of solid-not-special tackle production (49 in 2024). Projected starter on veteran reliability; a quality rotational P4 'backer without draft traction.

Ceiling · 5.3

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.8

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
