Scouting Verdict

Four-star redshirt-freshman who flashed 2 sacks in one 2025 appearance; tiny sample, high developmental ceiling.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.9).

Floor · 2.3

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.0.
