A stout, low-to-the-ground nose who has quietly stacked two seasons of interior work for Oklahoma, 58 tackles and five sacks across 22 games while holding up against SEC-level double teams. The value is in the anchor: he clogs run lanes and occupies blockers, and he's flashed more interior push than the nose position typically asks for, which is what has him drawing a projected NT1 role. However, the pass-rush is the swing, and right now the sack numbers are solid rather than special, the difference between a rotational run-stuffer and a three-down draft piece. His name lands on several 2027 boards but without Round 1 consensus, which reads right. I want to see the interior rush take another step before treating him as more than a reliable early-down anchor. Grade it as a returning SEC nose on a draftable trajectory whose ceiling is tied to how much pass-rush the tape adds this fall.
