5-9 · 222 lbs

6.2

Priority UDFA

Floor 6.0 · Ceiling 6.4

#443 overall · #49 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Former Arizona defensive centerpiece (105 tackles, 6.5 sacks in 2023) whose last two years were cut short by injury; a proven, downhill Big Ten starter whose grade hinges on returning to full health.

Ceiling · 6.4

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · LB lower-value.

Floor · 6.0

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.2.
