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 interior defensive lineman who plays with violence and tenacity at the point of attack. Excellent use of length in order to initiate contact against offensive linemen. Scraps and claws consistently, never gives up when engaged with blockers. Rarely loses the battle of leverage due to hand usage and pad level. Impressive bend for a player of his stature. Measured in at nearly 6-foot-4, 275 pounds during summer campus visits. Strong testing in the agility and explosive drills for the position during the spring camp circuit. Raw power translates to track and field as well as he threw 130-foot-3 in the discus during his sophomore track and field season. High floor prospect who will develop the nuances as a pass rusher with collegiate coaching and reps.
