Scouting Verdict

LB1. Productive downhill thumper — 90 tackles in 2025 to lead the linebacker room. Part of the only ACC duo (with DaShawn Stone) to each return with 85+ stops. LB is a devalued spot and there's no draft buzz yet, but the tape is a steady, instinctive run-defender. Solid starter grade.

Ceiling · 5.9

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.6) · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.7

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.6.
