Scouting Verdict

Productive returning RB (via Idaho) — 567 rush yds/5 TD, 8 rec (2024). Grade benchmarked to a Mountain West draft-outcome projection, not inflated.

Ceiling · 4.9

Career reserve (RB3) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Mountain West draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 4.0

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.7.
