Floor 2.4 · Ceiling 3.5
#6661 overall · #592 IOL of 15096
Scouting Verdict
Depth OL (junior); limited college production on record.
Ceiling · 3.5
Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · Mountain West draft-temper.
Floor · 2.4
Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.
