Scouting Verdict

Former top-450 four-star who has logged only 4 career games and projects as the WILL2. Minimal production to grade, so the current stays near his recruiting floor. Backup-caliber tape with developmental upside.

Ceiling · 8.2

2026 rotation (WILL2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+4.4) · up-year team · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.9

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.9.
