Scouting Verdict
Productive returning WR — 12 rec, 205 yds, 2 TD (2025). Grade benchmarked to a MAC draft-outcome projection, not inflated.
Ceiling · 4.8
Projected 2026 starter (WR1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.5) · MAC draft-temper · WR premium.
Floor · 3.6
Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.
