Former top-60 recruit and three-year SEC interior lineman whose 2025 was his most productive — 30 tackles, three sacks, two breakups and a forced fumble in eight games at Tennessee, interior pass-rush numbers at a premium-value position. The pedigree and the three years of SEC reps give the profile a real base, and the rush production finally showed up in a shortened season. However, the availability is part of the story — eight games in 2025, plus a spring injury — and a defender recruited as a top-10 tackle is only now reaching draft-radar production rather than dominating. A proven multi-year SEC starter entering the draftable tier at a valued spot; a fringe pro whose grade climbs if a full, healthy 2026 turns the three-sack flash into a season-long number.
