Scouting Verdict

Athlon Fourth-Team preseason All-CUSA receiver. Explosive but low-volume at South Carolina State — 11 catches for 295 yards (26.8 per catch) and 3 TD in 2025; the big-play rate is real, the workload is unproven at this level.

Ceiling · 4.9

Career reserve (WR3) — limited opportunity caps the ceiling; close to ceiling (+0.1) · Conference USA draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 4.2

Some college production — moderate floor; downside −0.6.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
