Year-two growth was real for the 6-4, 255-pound Georgia edge — 34 tackles, five pass breakups, two sacks and a forced fumble in a 2025 rotational role, and the five breakups are the interesting number, an unusual stat line for an outside linebacker that suggests he's disrupting throwing lanes even when he doesn't finish. Georgia trusted him with December snaps in a Playoff run, and 2026 hands him a starting job. However, the pass-rush ledger is two career sacks for a player whose NFL job description is rushing the passer, and that's the whole evaluation right now — everything else is a four-star pedigree (No. 368 national) and a frame teams draft on spec. The grade holds at fringe-prospect level until the sack column argues otherwise; a six-sack 2026 in a full-time role is the line between college starter and 2028 draft name.
