Scouting Verdict
No-shot; redshirt-freshman LB with no production, projected reserve.
Ceiling · 7.0
Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.4) · MAC draft-temper · LB lower-value.
Floor · 0.9
Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.7.
