Scouting Notes
Wisconsin transfer safety with multi-year Big Ten starting experience (49 and 58 tackles in 2023-24, ball production with 7 career INT). Injury-shortened 2025 (2 games). A proven Power-conference rotational starter; the grade held for now reflects modest splash production and an unremarkable draft profile, landing him as a solid college starter without a clear NFL case.
