After redshirting in 2021, he steadily developed through the Gators' rotation, posting 20 tackles in 2022 and 24 tackles with two sacks in 2023 before breaking out in 2024 with a team-leading seven sacks and 13 tackles for loss, earning the eighth-highest PFF grade among all FBS edge rushers that season.

His ability to set a firm edge, absorb double teams, and stack and shed blockers at the point of attack has drawn significant attention from NFL evaluators, who project him as a high-floor run defender and developing pass rusher with the physical tools and special teams potential to contribute immediately at the next level.
