Scouting Verdict

Returning starting center and former four-star with SEC/Big 12 reps; the line's pivot and a solid Power-conference starter.

Ceiling · 8.2

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; real room to grow (+1.0) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 6.4

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.
