Scouting Verdict

D-II (Shepherd) transfer with no available production and a two-level jump. Veteran depth/rotation projection only; no draft framing. No-shot tier.

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.2) · up-year team · Sun Belt draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.4.
