Outside shot for All-Sun Belt
Based on 2025: #41 of 43 Conference USA DBs — his program moves to the Sun Belt for 2026
A base rate for the rank, not a forecast of this player: 15% of returning players who ranked #21 or lower at their position in their conference made an all-conference team the next season (95% confidence interval 13–17%). It was measured on players who stayed in the same conference and is not adjusted for the move to the Sun Belt.
2026 is in progress.
