Scouting Verdict
Long, loose edge with a 6-6, 273 build that lets him set the edge with height and reach, and 2025 is where the arrow finally shot up: 43 tackles, eight sacks and a forced fumble after two quiet seasons of spot work. The rush kit is real when it lands, flashing spins, rips and a violent inside move to complement speed-to-power, and the length shows up as a pursuit weapon when he stacks and sheds down the line. However, the honest doubt is where those sacks came from: too many arrived against lower-tier lines while SEC tackles largely stonewalled him, and the run-game leverage still comes and goes when he sells out for the rush. That inconsistency is the difference between a Bednarik semifinalist headline and a bankable first-rounder. For the 2027 class the ceiling is loud, but I want to see the pass-rush production hold against the best tackles on his own schedule before treating the Day 1 buzz as settled. Grade it as an ascending edge whose traits outrun his proof.
