Scouting Verdict

DB1, Gr transfer. Steady, productive safety — 73 tackles at North Texas in 2025 after 42 at Old Dominion. Veteran tackler who fills a starting role immediately. Experienced floor, modest ceiling at his age.

Ceiling · 4.4

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.0

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
