Scouting Verdict

Most productive of the group as a multi-year Big Ten starter (27 tkl, 3.5 TFL at Maryland in 2025) and a plug-and-play immediate-impact 2026 starter with length (6-6/292), but research confirms zero draft buzz and no presence on 2026/2027 boards. Textbook quality-starter-with-no-draft-signal grade.

Ceiling · 5.8

Projected 2026 starter (DT1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.4) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 5.0

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