Scouting Verdict

Blue-chip 4-star (No. 444) former Tennessee edge with a long 6-5/240 frame and rare developmental traits, but almost no production (1 tackle). The pedigree, length and upside are the story; the lack of reps is a real flag. Boom-or-bust projection.

Ceiling · 8.2

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+4.0) · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 3.0

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.2.
