Scouting Report
A 6-1, 319-pound squatty space-eating nose tackle with a wide, powerful base who rebounded from an injury-marred 2024 to start all 12 games for UCLA in 2025 after transferring from Duke. His natural leverage allows him to grow deep roots and occupy blocks, though he offers minimal pass-rush help and his shorter arms limit his ability to extend and control offensive linemen. Projects as a late-round pick or UDFA whose run-stopping value is his only real calling card.
