Scouting Verdict
True frosh LB, unranked, no college snaps — nothing to reward; deep reserve.
Ceiling · 4.4
Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; real room to grow (+1.7) · Big 12 draft-temper · LB lower-value.
Floor · 1.0
Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.7.
