Scouting Verdict

The only Bronco with real 2027 draft-cycle coverage — a Draft Scout 2027 profile and a Last Word On Sports early profile projecting the middle rounds with a likely Senior Bowl or Shrine invite. Third-team All-MAC in 2025, 1,000-yard seasons in two of three years, and the projected RB1; Western Michigan averaged 33 points a game when he cleared 5.0 yards a carry and 20 when he didn't.

Ceiling · 6.3

Projected 2026 starter (RB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · MAC draft-temper · RB devalued (ceiling capped).

Floor · 6.0

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.2.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
