Scouting Verdict

3★ unproven redshirt freshman LB; no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.0) · LB lower-value.

Floor · 1.3

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.7.
