Oregon - 6030 / 206
Two-year starter, Detroit, MI. Began career at UCLA in 2023 where he started five games. Transferred to Oregon in 2024, seeing some action but ultimately utilizing the redshirt. A wiry athlete with excellent rotational capability that makes his throwing motion smooth but explosive. Easy velocity on the ball with a consistently tight spiral and placement.
