Scouting Verdict

Athlon preseason All-Pac-12 Second Team RB AND Fourth Team kick returner; previously All-ECAC FBS as a kick returner at UConn. Career: 935 rushing yards on 6.2 yards per carry across two UConn seasons - an efficiency profile the volume-driven machine misses. 2025 was wrecked by injury (played 4 games, hurt at Delaware, missed 8, returned vs FAU: 70 yds + TD). Projected RB1 and KR1 per Ourlads.
