Scouting Report

July 29, 2026

John Smith #27

Texas State · SAF · Fr · 2029 Draft · Baytown, Texas · Baytown Sterling

6'3" · 202 lbs

2.2

Raw Prospect

Floor 0.6 · Ceiling 4.4

#14323 overall · #1158 SAF of 15102

Scouting Verdict

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

Ceiling · 4.4

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+2.2) · Pac-12 draft-temper.

Floor · 0.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.6.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
