Interior anchor who has quietly become one of USC's most established players — a returning starter the program made a point of re-signing after transfer rumors, and a Polynesian Player of the Year watch-list name alongside the Trojans' headliners. Multi-year Power-conference starting experience at guard is the resume, and at 6-3, 315 he's built for the phone booth. The evaluation problem is the usual interior-lineman one plus two more: there are no box stats to lean on, the national draft coverage is nonexistent — no boards, no mocks, just a steady starter's reputation — and the early exit against Nebraska is worth a medical follow-up. What 2026 needs to show is simple: a full 13-game season anchoring the Trojans' interior without the availability blip. Late-round-track grade; the realistic floor is a priority free-agent camp with a legitimate interior-swing case, and the ceiling is a late-Day 3 call if the tape gets loud.
