Floor 4.3 · Ceiling 4.8

#2357 overall · #303 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

115-tackle production reads as a rotational-starter LB, but LB is a devalued position with no draft-board or All-Big 12 presence to push it higher.

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.
