Scouting Verdict

Undersized ballhawk from a football family who has made plays in every season Oklahoma has given him: three interceptions and seven breakups across just 17 games, a pick-six in his first career start, and an All-SEC second-team nod that says the league noticed. The per-snap ball production is genuinely good, and the LCB1 job is his in 2026. However, the profile carries two open questions and neither is small. At 5-9 and 185, some rooms will write him in as slot-only before the tape gets a vote. And he has never played a full season — nine games in 2024, eight in 2025 — which makes availability the stat I trust least in this file. The 2027-class coverage already floats Day 2 language on him; the grade stays on the Day 3 track until he strings together 13 healthy games and answers the size question against SEC outside receivers.
