Scouting Notes

A well-traveled Power 5 corner on his third stop, and the middle of that journey is the high-water mark: 61 tackles, three interceptions and eight pass breakups at Colorado in 2024 before an injury-shortened 2025. The résumé is steady and the tape holds up against good competition, a dependable boundary starter who tackles willingly and has shown he can find the ball. That earns a solid priority-UDFA-area grade with a real role waiting at Notre Dame. However, this isn't a high-end draft profile: the peak takeaway season is now a year in the rearview, the frame is on the lean side at 185, and the projection rests on veteran reliability rather than upside. I want to see the ball production from 2024 return over a full, healthy season in South Bend. Grade it as a proven multi-stop starter whose value is dependability, not ceiling.
