Scouting Verdict

Depth TE (graduate) (via Rhode Island); limited college production on record.

Ceiling · 2.9

2026 rotation (TE2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.0) · Conference USA draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 2.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −0.3.
