Outlook
Rated 48.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
