Scouting Verdict

Four schools and 2,151 yds / 10 TD / 8 INT as UCF's starter is mediocre P4 production, and he had NOT won the North Texas job out of spring (three-way race with two redshirt freshmen). Held to a fringe-starter grade until the job is his.

Ceiling · 5.0

Projected 2026 starter (QB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · AAC draft-temper · QB premium.

Floor · 4.3

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.5.
