Scouting Notes
The most productive returning defender and a genuinely tracked Day-3 draft name — 8 early 2027 mocks have him around the sixth round (~No. 213) off an All-SEC, SEC-leading 127-tackle 2024 (206 career) with a 20-tackle game vs. Tennessee. Rangy, sure, always around the ball; a documented durability history he played through in 2025 keeps the floor honest, but the tape and mock support are real.
