Scouting Verdict
Tackle production you can bank: 67 as a true freshman starter at Cal, 71 the next year, then 97 in 2025 — one of the few linebackers in the country with three straight seasons at that volume before his senior year. BYU paid a portal-top-40 price and hands him the green dot, and the early reporting out of Provo is all leadership and surprising foot speed. However, the splash columns run thin against the tackle count: six career sacks, three interceptions, and no forced fumbles since his freshman season, with 2024 bottoming out at half a sack. The profile reads dependable pursuit-and-finish backer more than difference-maker, and the NFL pays for the latter. Day 3 grade on the 2027 track. What earns more is specific — a season where the 90-tackle floor arrives with real disruption behind the line, proving the Big 12 move scales him up rather than just relocating the same stat line.
