Scouting Verdict
Long, angular linebacker who Ohio State is moving toward the edge, and the fit makes sense — back-to-back productive seasons at Wisconsin (66 tackles, then 49 with four sacks in 2025) from a defender who plays downhill and finishes. He's instinctive attacking the run and flashed as a blitzer, and the staff has slotted him into an Arvell Reese-style hybrid role that leans on his 6-4 frame off the ball and on the line. However, the production is solid-not-special — four sacks and no takeaways in 2025 puts the pass-rush and coverage impact in the priority-UDFA band rather than the draftable one, and the position change means he's re-proving a role at a new level. A plug-and-play, instinctive front-seven starter whose Power-conference production tracks as a priority free-agent profile with a path up if the edge experiment produces.
