Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.2/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 70.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
