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.

In the mix for All-Pac-12
Based on 2025: #9 of 17 Sun Belt DEs — his program moves to the Pac-12 for 2026
A base rate for the rank, not a forecast of this player: 35% of returning players who ranked #4–10 at their position in their conference made an all-conference team the next season (95% confidence interval 31–38%). It was measured on players who stayed in the same conference and is not adjusted for the move to the Pac-12.
The No. 1,219 recruit in the country is starting on the defensive line in the Sun Belt as a senior.
