Scouting Verdict

R-Senior safety, Appalachian State transfer (OVR1323). Productive at the G5 level (58 then 73 tackles, 2 INT, 5 PD, 2 FF in 2025), but that production is discounted moving up to the SEC. Experienced depth/rotational starter profile.

Ceiling · 4.9

Career reserve (SS3) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.1).

Floor · 4.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor; downside −0.3.
