Scouting Verdict

A former 4-star edge/linebacker who flashed real pass-rush juice at North Carolina (7 sacks); a designated rusher with starter upside and developmental draft interest.

Ceiling · 6.3

2026 rotation (LB2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.7) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.8

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.8.
