Scouting Verdict

Unproven sophomore OL; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; significant upside (+4.3) · Conference USA draft-temper.

Floor · 1.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.2.
