Scouting Verdict

Wake Forest transfer, R-So, with a 6-tackle 2025 in limited duty. Minimal proven tape across two programs. Backup projection; needs snaps to be evaluated.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (LCB3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.6) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 2.3

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −1.1.
