Scouting Verdict

Nyqir Helton is a Fr WR and a 3-star recruit (#1208 nationally) who has not yet taken a college snap. Capped as unproven youth — the pedigree is real but the projection is all ceiling until it shows up on the field.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.3) · ACC draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 1.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.2.
