"He won the Kansas State middle linebacker job as a true sophomore and has not given it back — the only thing that has taken him off the field is his own body."
A 6-2, 245-pound downhill Mike who posted 96 tackles with 7.5 tackles for loss as a sophomore starter and 66 more in just nine games in 2025. Old-school run-and-hit linebacker with a green-dot brain, but the sub-package coverage work and the availability both need answers.
What he does well
- 01Run diagnosis — reads guard and back flow immediately and is almost never in the wrong gap, which is how a sophomore stacked 96 tackles in 13 games.
- 02Take-on strength — at 245 pounds he squares a lead blocker and holds his ground instead of getting displaced, keeping the linebacker level intact.
