Scouting Verdict

Rotation LB (Iowa Central CC transfer) with some college production (8 tk (2025)); a depth contributor with room to grow.

Ceiling · 3.5

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.7

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −0.5.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
