#695 overall · #65 RB of 15102

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.

Ceiling · 6.0

Projected 2026 starter (RB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Pac-12 draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 5.2

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Gardner-Web → UConn → Colorado State
