Scouting Verdict

A 4-star sophomore transfer from Oregon (No. 208) with the pedigree but no college production — a developmental projection at TE2. Youth-capped current, real ceiling on the recruited talent.

Ceiling · 8.2

2026 rotation (TE2) — some opportunity; significant upside (+3.8) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 3.3

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.1.
