Wake's keystone and clear QB1. A productive dual-threat at South Alabama (2,559 yds, 18 TD, 465 rush in 2024) whose 2025 step-back at UNC (1,747/10/5) reads as scheme/fit failure under Belichick's staff, not lost talent — he reunites at Wake with his old SA coordinator. Two years left. I'm grading a proven-but-inconsistent mid-major starter honestly; no draft board lists him yet, so the upside is in the band, not the point.
