Scouting Verdict

Projected 2026 starter and a proven producer (Virginia Tech / North Carolina transfer) — 22 tk, 1 sacks (2025). Grade benchmarked to a Big 12 draft-outcome projection; the band carries his 2027 upside.

Ceiling · 4.8

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Big 12 draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 4.3

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
