Three-down interior lineman whose production climbed on a straight line while nobody outside Coral Gables was looking — two tackles as a 2023 backup, 18 in 2024, then a career-best 31 stops and 4.5 sacks anchoring a rebuilt Miami front in 2025. He wins the way older interior players do, stacking the line of scrimmage and finding the ballcarrier late in the down rather than living in the backfield, and the sack jump signals a rusher who finally learned to convert push into finish. However, the pedigree-to-production gap cuts both ways: a No. 558 recruit with one truly disruptive season and zero forced fumbles or batted passes in 2025, he still needs to prove the arrow keeps climbing against SEC-caliber interiors. For a redshirt senior with three years of ascending tape on a Playoff line, the disruption and the value of the position give him a genuine draftable floor as an interior rotation piece who plays bigger than his sack total.
