A five-star (No. 29 overall) linebacker whose 2025 breakout put real production behind the recruiting hype: 60 tackles and 4.5 sacks as a first-year starter, with the range and blitz timing that make him a downhill weapon off the second level. The rush production is the eye-catcher, a linebacker who threatens the pocket on delayed pressures and closes ground in a hurry. However, the sample is one starting season, and the doubts sit off the field as much as on it after an offseason traffic arrest that clouds the runway. I want to see a second year of clean, ascending tape before the Round 1 chatter Georgia keeps generating for its linebackers attaches to him. The trajectory is strong and the traits are loud; the proof is still a season short. Grade it as an ascending, rangy blitzer with a Day 2 outline and a breakout year that needs a sequel.
