Scouting Report

July 29, 2026

DJ Ackerson Jr. #16

Kansas State · LB · Fr · 2029 Draft · Oklahoma City, Okla. · Putnam City

6-1 · 207 lbs

2.7

Raw Prospect

Floor 1.0 · Ceiling 4.4

#9602 overall · #960 LB of 15102

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.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
