Scouting Verdict

Unranked Lehigh transfer with real 2025 FCS production (12g, 55 tk, 4 INT) but the level is heavily discounted vs P4.

Ceiling · 4.5

2026 rotation (SS2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.5).

Floor · 3.2

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.8.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Lehigh → Minnesota
