Scouting Verdict

Jr LB, former top-250 recruit but no recorded production; unproven depth piece. Long-shot draft projection.

Ceiling · 3.8

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.6) · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.6

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.6.
