Scouting Verdict

VT's most productive returning interior lineman (48 tk, 4.5 sacks in 2025) after an Army → JUCO → Blacksburg path. Only a 2★ recruit, but the on-field disruption is real and earned — production-over-pedigree.

Ceiling · 6.1

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 5.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.4.

Pedigree

2★ recruit · Natl #2698 · Pos #136 · State #77

Path: Army → Iowa Western C.C. → Virginia Tech
