Scouting Verdict

Former 4-star DL (natl 307) and multi-year ACC contributor but modest box production (2 sacks 2025).

Ceiling · 5.8

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

Floor · 5.2

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