Scouting Verdict

Unproven redshirt freshman QB; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (QB3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.5) · AAC draft-temper · QB premium.

Floor · 0.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.9.
