Scouting Verdict

Rotational TE (via Hutchinson CC) with some college production (1 rec, 9 yds, 0 TD (2025)).

Ceiling · 2.7

Projected 2026 starter (TE1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.2) · MAC draft-temper · TE lower-value.

Floor · 1.8

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.
