Scouting Notes

Experienced LB who climbed from FCS Sacramento State to a full G5 season at Nevada (53 tackles, an INT in 2025). Production is solid-not-special and the tackle rates are middling for a projected starter; level translation is fine but there is no pass-rush or splash element and no draft buzz. Priority-UDFA-at-best projection in the low range.
