D-III / Developmental

Scholarship traits at the FCS level, with room to climb through continued development and film.

Starter-caliber traits for a Power 4 program (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC). Squarely on major-conference radars.

Power 4 Prospect

Blue-chip traits — a high-priority Power 4 target with the tools to contribute early at the highest level.

Blue Chip

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Powerful defensive lineman with a strong multi-sport profile. Measured in at around 6-foot-3, 265 pounds with arms over 33 inches and 10+ inch hands before his senior season. Lines up as a defensive end and tight end for his high school. A solid on-field athlete capable of making impressive plays behind the line of scrimmage. Impressed with his power, using his hand strength to get off of blocks while at the Navy All-American Bowl. Finished his senior season with 11 tackles for loss and 7 sacks. Strong multi-sport profile with a 50+ foot shot put along with a basketball background. While good, the physical traits don’t stick out when compared to fellow top defensive linemen. Would like to see more production given the competition level. Has some versatility and could end up being an interior defender long term depending on how much weight he adds at the college level.
