Best programs first, by what each offer is worth in our grade: program strength times how rarely that program offers (how it is made). Warm means an offer, visit or camp in the last 60 days or an official visit in the last 120; cool, contact in the last 180; cold, older or a decommit. A count is the offers on record, not every offer the staffs made.

Need (how thin the program is at his spot) x fit (whether it starts players his size) x room (who leaves after this season), and while he is uncommitted, STM odds. How it is made. Not advice, and never a dollar figure.
Where his size starts

320 of the 1,993 FBS starters at edge rusher and interior defender since 2022 were his size (6-3 to 6-5, 251 to 289 pounds): most in the SEC (59), ACC (55) and Big Ten (45). Programs that start it most: NC State (10), Purdue (9) and Clemson (7). Of his offers, Cincinnati (6), Kentucky (5), Mississippi State (4) and Jacksonville State (1) have started it.

Who needs him

Of his 9 offers, Kentucky has the thinnest room at defensive line: 5 with 2+ years left of 10, 1 in his last year, 15 portal exits in 3 seasons, 4 commits this cycle.

Starter seasons 2022-2026: six or more games in one of the position's starting slots by volume (college snap counts are not public). How it is made. Room is 2+ years left plus 2027 commits at the spot against the 68 programs mapped (the power conferences and Notre Dame); exits are the 2024-2026 portal feeds. How it is made.

Past recruits whose offer boards looked most like his: same position, about the same size, offers from programs of the same strength, about as many. Past boards are offers at signing day; his is the board he holds today (Nov 2, 2026). Classes 2016 to 2026 are thin in our record today, so most matches come from 2010 to 2015. 9 of these 10 have finished their draft window. History, not a forecast for him.
