Floor 4.5 · Ceiling 5.5

#1401 overall · #121 SAF of 15096

Scouting Verdict

The most accomplished defensive back on the roster — a former three-year Clemson starting safety (4★ #205) whose 2025 was wiped out by injury (1 tackle). Graded on the proven body of work and pedigree; a bounce-back, with availability the question that widens the band.

Ceiling · 5.5

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.

Pedigree

4★ recruit · Natl #205 · Pos #16 · State #7

Path: Clemson → Virginia Tech
