Scouting Verdict

Named the starter in May and the entire identity of a rebuilt offense — 2,142 yards at 70.9% with 16 touchdowns at Incarnate Word in 2025, after a two-game cameo at UCF. Efficient FCS production plus the QB job, tempered for the level he did it at.

Ceiling · 7.0

Projected 2026 starter (QB1) — real opportunity to climb; real room to grow (+1.0) · Mountain West draft-temper · QB premium.

Floor · 4.9

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −1.1.
