Scouting Verdict

True freshman 5-star LB (No. 16 nationally, No. 1 ILB) with no snaps yet but already MIKE2. Elite pedigree lives in the ceiling; current is a no-tape freshman.

Ceiling · 8.6

2026 rotation (MIKE2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+4.3) · up-year team · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.8

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
