Scouting Verdict

A 4-star redshirt freshman with a snap of experience; developmental, upside in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (DL3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+3.7) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 2.5

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −2.0.
