What the box score actually says
16 tackles. 2 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 0.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.

Outside shot for All-Mountain West
Based on 2025: #16 of 16 Mid-American DTs — his program moves to the Mountain West for 2026
A base rate for the rank, not a forecast of this player: 22% of returning players who ranked #11–20 at their position in their conference made an all-conference team the next season (95% confidence interval 19–25%). It was measured on players who stayed in the same conference and is not adjusted for the move to the Mountain West.
