Mid three-star interior OL who earned real early playing time — as a true freshman in 2025 he appeared in 8 games with 5 starts at both guard spots on a Power-4 (ACC) line, and enters 2026 as a projected returning starter ("an impact guy" for the room). Tempered for youth, a G5-caliber recruiting pedigree, and a 2-10 team with freshman growing pains; no NFL draft buzz yet, so he profiles as an ascending developmental P4 starter, not a current pro prospect.
