Scouting Verdict

UCF transfer nose projected NT1 with two solid mid-major years (39 tackles in 2025). Functional run-down anchor; priority-UDFA-level production stepping up in class.

Ceiling · 6.7

Projected 2026 starter (NT1) — real opportunity to climb; real room to grow (+1.4) · up-year team.

Floor · 4.6

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.
