Scouting Notes

Explosive edge disruptor who has stacked two seasons of star production — 9 sacks and 3 forced fumbles as a true freshman, then 12 sacks and 3 more forced fumbles in 2025. The strip is a signature, not an accident: six forced fumbles in two years says his hands arrive with a plan. He wins with a first step that stresses tackles immediately, and the tackle totals (48, then 43) show he isn't a rush-only specialist chasing box-score sacks. However, at 6-3 and 245 pounds, the question NFL rooms will ask is early-down survival — can he set a physical edge against SEC power run games without giving ground, or is he a designated rusher until the frame fills out? The 2027 class treats him as a top-10 lock, and the production earns it. Round 1 caliber, with double-digit-sack starter expectations early in his rookie contract.
