Raw Prospect

Floor 1.7 · Ceiling 4.4

Scouting Verdict

FCS starter at Gardner-Webb — 21 tackles/1.5 sacks over 12 games — modest FCS tape stepping up to a Big 12 rotation.

Ceiling · 4.4

2026 rotation (DL2) — some opportunity; real room to grow (+1.2) · Big 12 draft-temper.

Floor · 1.7

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Gardner-Webb → Kansas State
