Scouting Verdict

Ole Miss transfer linebacker and a tackle machine — 98 stops in 2025 after 76 in 2024. Proven, productive SEC tape at an off-ball spot; the projection is tempered by LB positional value but the floor is secure.

Ceiling · 6.1

Projected 2026 starter (WILL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.5) · up-year team · LB lower-value.

Floor · 5.4

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.2.
