Scouting Verdict

Former top-65 recruit with a promising 2024 (27 tk, 3 sacks) but a reduced 2025; high pedigree and SEC flashes balanced against a step back in production.

Ceiling · 8.2

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+2.6) · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.7

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.9.
