Scouting Notes
Record-setting FCS transfer — 3,508 passing yards, 38 TD and just 2 INT at Western Carolina in 2025, including an NCAA-record 46 consecutive completions. Landed at Northern Illinois for 2026 after briefly committing to North Carolina out of the portal. Elite FCS production, accuracy and command; the open question is level of competition — he's unproven at FBS. Projects as NIU's starter with real upside if the game translates up. (Preliminary machine grade — set your own.)
