Scouting Verdict

Illinois transfer projected to start on the interior; modest but real Big Ten production (12 tackles, 1.5 sacks). A rotational-to-starting lineman with room to grow.

Ceiling · 5.2

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.8).

Floor · 3.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.9.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Illinois → Michigan State
