Scouting Notes

Productive D2 transfer (2024 SAC Defensive Freshman of the Year at Barton: 55 tkl, 3.5 TFL) who at the Power-4 level was only a rotational reserve DE in 2025 (~19 tackles, 1 sack, no starts). Real developmental upside given the D2-to-ACC leap and edge frame (6-3, 240), but unproven against P4 competition with zero draft buzz keeps him in the lower-yellow/developmental band.
