Scouting Verdict

3★ unproven redshirt freshman DL (Texas transfer); no college production on record yet, so the current grade is youth-appropriate — the upside is carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+3.8) · Independent draft-temper.

Floor · 1.7

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.5.
