Scouting Report

Daniel Cruz #50

NC State · IOL · Jr · 2028 Draft · N. Richland Hills, TX · Richland

6-2 · 315 lbs

4.4

UDFA

Floor 3.6 · Ceiling 5.2

#2647 overall · #232 IOL of 15102

Scouting Verdict

A former 4-star (No. 312) Texas transfer projected to start, but with no college production to grade — pure projection on pedigree and a starting job. Real talent, unproven body.

Ceiling · 5.2

Projected 2026 starter (OL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.8) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 3.6

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.

Pedigree

4★ recruit · Natl #312 · Pos #21 · State #51

Path: Texas → NC State
