Productive returning LB (via South Alabama) — 40 tk, 0.5 sacks, 0 INT (2025). Grade benchmarked to an AAC draft-outcome projection, not inflated.

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · AAC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 3.8

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
