Though he played only one game in the 2025 season without recording stats, his differentiator lies in his physical maturation (gaining 30 lbs since high school) and relentless practice intensity, traits that signal high upside for teams needing a versatile, hard-nosed defender. His personality is marked by quiet determination and adaptability, making him a strong fit for squads prioritizing depth and special teams reliability over immediate star production.
