Long Shot

Floor 1.8 · Ceiling 7.0

Scouting Verdict

Interior lineman with one productive rotational year at Mississippi State (30 tackles); modest sample lands him as Big Ten depth.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (DL3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.7).

Floor · 1.8

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