The best returning defensive back — a former top-360 recruit and UCF transfer with multi-year starting production (57 tackles/3 INT at UCF, then 51 and steady seasons at MSU). Proven, rangy, and around the ball; a real durability flag (limited to four games in 2025 with a recurring injury before a medical redshirt) tempers the floor, but he returns for 2026 and the grade reflects translatable Big Ten production with the band open on 2027 safety interest.
