Scouting Verdict

A productive transfer linebacker — Buffalo (79 tackles, 3.5 sacks in 2025; 8.5 sacks in 2024) projected to start. A rangy, blitz-capable defender with real MAC production to translate.

Ceiling · 5.6

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

Floor · 5.2

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