Scouting Verdict

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.

Ceiling · 5.1

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.5) · up-year team.

Floor · 4.3

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
