James Madison · SAF · R-Jr · 2028 Draft · Charlotte, NC · Julius L. Chambers

5-10 · 195 lbs

3.6

Long Shot

Floor 2.9 · Ceiling 4.1

#5086 overall · #442 SAF of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Productive FCS safety (57 tackles at William & Mary in 2024) who got onto the field at JMU in 2025 (14 tackles in 6 games) and projects as a starter. Some FBS reps now exist but the production thinned at the higher level and there is no draft buzz; priority-UDFA-at-best.

Ceiling · 4.1

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.5) · up-year team · Sun Belt draft-temper.

Floor · 2.9

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: William & Mary → James Madison
