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
