Scouting Verdict

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

Ceiling · 7.0

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.4) · Mountain West draft-temper.

Floor · 1.0

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.6.
