Jacksonville Jaguars · LB
Elizabethton, Tennessee native who was the state's 4A Mr. Football in 2020, captained Middle Tennessee State and became its first 100-tackle player since 2013, then joined the Jaguars as a seventh-round pick in 2026. His first NIL deal at MTSU, in 2023, was with Nacho's Mexican Restaurant, one of his favorite local spots: social-media shoutouts in exchange for free food, which grew into regular gigs for the linebacker.
