Scouting Report
Evaluated 11/10/2023
A disruptive force with an unverified burly frame hovering around 6-foot-4, 290 pounds. Primarily plays defensive end in a four-man front at the high school level but will slide to the interior defensive line at the next level. One of the stronger defensive linemen at the point of attack in the 2025 recruiting cycle, routinely stacks and sheds opposing offensive linemen with ease. Nimble play style and smooth gait show up frequently while rushing the passer and offer significant long-term value. Finished his junior season with multiple defensive touchdowns on fumble recoveries and interceptions.Possesses a multi-sport profile with promising varsity basketball reps which offer insight into his hip and ankle flexibility. Will need to keep progressing, but has shown plenty so far to eventually emerge as a difference-maker at the P5 level and eventually a NFL Draft pick.
