Scouting Verdict
Unproven true freshman DB; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.
Ceiling · 7.0
Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.4) · Conference USA draft-temper.
Floor · 0.6
Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.0.
