Scouting Verdict

Rotation LB (Arkansas transfer) with some college production (8 tk, 1 sacks (2025)); a depth contributor with room to grow.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.4) · Big 12 draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 2.3

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.3.
