2026 outlook
Outside shot for All-Pac-12
Based on 2025: #23 of 45 Mountain West LBs — his program moves to the Pac-12 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 Pac-12.
The No. 2,194 recruit in the country is starting at linebacker in the Pac-12 as a sophomore.
2026 is in progress.
