Scouting Verdict

All-CAA production at Rhode Island — 65 catches for 1,018 yards — and a Phil Steele preseason third-team All-CUSA pick as the replacement for Alex Perry. Tempered for the FCS level of competition.

Ceiling · 6.2

Projected 2026 starter (WR1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · Conference USA draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 5.7

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.
