Scouting Notes
Wisconsin transfer OL (former 4-star, national #85, position #9) projected as a Day-1 starter (OL1). Strong pedigree and Big Ten background give him one of the better OL outlooks on the roster, though the profile lists no logged stats and OL has no counting production. Current grade for a talented, pedigreed projected starter; a clean Big Ten season would build a real draft case.
