Outlook
Rated 48.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
