Scouting Notes
True-freshman All-American who tied for the team lead in tackles (60 tk, 2 FF) in the Power Four — a genuine breakout and the best pro trajectory on this list — but a 3-star sophomore still 2-3 years from any draft conversation with no buzz yet; high-floor riser, projection still developing.
Draft Projection & Mocks
Freshman All-American as true freshman (2025) — extremely rare. Led SU in tackles at 18 years old. NFL teams will track his trajectory over the next 3 seasons. If development continues, legitimate Round 2-3 ILB prospect by 2028.
