Scouting Verdict

The portal centerpiece up front — a 4-star LSU transfer (No. 123 overall) projected to anchor the interior/tackle spot. High pedigree and SEC-ready size; the grade reflects a projected starter with real developmental upside on limited college snaps.

Ceiling · 5.9

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.9).

Floor · 4.2

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.
