C · R shot · 6'0" 185lb · Edwardsville, IL · DOB 2006-04-25 (2006)
Janesville Jets — NAHL · Top-6 forward / two-way center
Why now
The best combined hockey-and-academic profile left on the board, and the one most likely to be gone. The Hockey News named him one of the five best uncommitted players in the NAHL in June 2026 and Tri-City took him in the USHL Phase II draft. If Bowdoin wants a conversation it has to happen before he plays a USHL game.
