Scouting Verdict

Projected 2026 starter and TCU's most-mocked 2027 name — a former top-10 DL recruit (6-5/325) with 7 RS-Fr starts and a team-leading TFL share. NFLMockDraftDatabase carries him as a Day-3 (~5th-round) projection across the most mocks of any Frog; the grade reflects real draft traction, benchmarked to a Big 12 draft-outcome and disciplined against a lone Day-2 hot take on a light snap count.

Ceiling · 6.6

Career reserve (Reserve) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.4) · Big 12 draft-temper.

Floor · 5.3

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.9.
