"He is listed at 6-2 and north of 300 pounds, which in scouting shorthand means "space eater" — except he has more sacks over two seasons than most of the ends lined up outside him."

A 6-2, 306-pound Oklahoma interior defender entering his third season as a rotation fixture: 28 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks in 12 games in 2025 after 30 tackles, 3.0 TFL and 2.0 sacks as a freshman in 2024. Compact, powerful and quicker than his weight suggests, with the pass-rush trajectory that separates a nose from a starter.

What he does well
  • 01Natural leverage — At 6-2 he lives under a guard's pads without having to bend to get there, and that pad level is why a 306-pound player creates knockback on first contact.
  • 02Get-off — His first two steps are among the quickest of any interior player in this class, and it is the trait behind 5.0 tackles for loss in a rotational role.
