Scouting Report

Luke Needham #67

Rice · OT · R-Jr · 2027 Draft · Germantown, Tennessee · Houston

6-5 · 320 lbs

3.8

Long Shot

Floor 2.5 · Ceiling 4.1

#4267 overall · #286 OT of 15096

Scouting Verdict

Projected LT1 but injury-riddled in 2025 — three games, one September start before returning for the Armed Forces Bowl. Un-buried for the starting role, tempered for the availability record.

Ceiling · 4.1

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · AAC draft-temper.

Floor · 2.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.3.

Pedigree
