Scouting Notes
By far the most productive profile here (FCS First-Team All-American, OVC DPOY, 13.5 sacks/20 TFL, real get-off), but he appears in zero 2026 mock drafts or big boards, is undersized at 6-3/230, and faces a steep FCS-to-ACC jump. Projects as a quality ACC starter / contingent priority-UDFA, not a current draft pick.

Draft Projection & Mocks
FCS All-American with program-record 13.5 sacks at UT Martin in 2025. Moving up to ACC with SU — true test of NFL-caliber production. If he can translate to P4 competition, becomes a serious Day 2 edge prospect. Long, instinctive pass rusher with relentless motor.
