Scouting Verdict

Unproven redshirt freshman WR; grade reflects no meaningful college snaps yet, upside carried in the ceiling.

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (WR3) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.4) · MAC draft-temper · WR premium.

Floor · 0.6

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