Scouting Verdict

A productive returning linebacker — Tennessee transfer (No. 429 recruit) who led with 57 tackles in his first Mississippi State season after a 34-tackle 2024 in Knoxville. Proven, ascending, and a defensive tone-setter.

Ceiling · 5.6

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.6) · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.3

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.7.
