In the 2026 signing class release, Hardrockers coach John Flohr described him as a player who can line up in multiple defensive roles, has a great nose for the football, and finishes plays with urgency—exactly the kind of tone-setter coaches love. He looks like a strong fit for a defense that values pursuit, toughness, and downhill production, even if his college résumé is still just getting started.
