Scouting Notes
Incoming true freshman interior DL (6-3, ~285-290) with zero college snaps; low-end 3-star recruit (247 national #1260, DL #131, IL #34) whose offer sheet was G5/FCS-heavy with Michigan State the only other Power-4 suitor. Productive HS player (All-State senior year, 13 TFL/6 sacks as a junior) but unproven at the FBS level — developmental projection, no draft outlook.
Draft Projection & Mocks
None. True freshman with no college production and no draft buzz; years away from any NFL evaluation. Developmental interior DL who must add strength and earn a rotation role before pro projection is meaningful.
